论语言递归性的串合与套合关系

ON THE CONNECTIVE RECURSIVENESS AND EMBEDDED RECURSIVENESS OF LANGUAGE

递归性是语言的本质属性之一,但目前对递归性的理论内涵、运转机制的认识并不清晰、准确。递归性包括语言符号横向的串合关系和纵向的套合关系两种情况,串合和套合关系有机联接和联动,形成递归性的运转机制。递归性的串合和套合关系在理论上具有重要的意义,要求在研究语言生成能力时,纳入复合关系这一重要因素,从而使生成语法更完善,更有解释力。实践上,递归性的串合和套合关系可以贯通单句和复句,使层次分析方法适用于单句和复句,拓宽其应用范围。

The recursive nature of language is one of its intrinsic qualities,but by far,the knowledge about the theory connotation and the operation mechanism of recursiveness is not clear and accurate.The connotation of. recursiveness should be composed of connective recursiveness horizontally and embedded recursivness longitudinally,and the two relations joining together organically and opertating simultaneously form the operation mechanism of recursiveness.The connective recursiveness and embedded recursivness are of great significance in theory,which require bringing the compound relation into research on the generative capacity of language,so as to make the transformative and generative grammar more perfect and more explanatory.In practice,the connective recursiveness and embedded recursivness can be applied to simple sentences and complex sentences,and make the Immediate Constituents Analysis method not only applicable to simple sentences but also to complex sentences,at last further broadening the range of application of ICA.
