语气是小句间依赖关系区分的根本标准

Mood as the Key Criterion for Parataxis and Parataxis in Clause Complexes

汉语小句复合现象中,小句间是否存在并列或主从依赖关系,一直争议很大。本文建立在赞同汉语小句复合体有并列和主从之分的基础之上,从功能的角度出发,提出语气是小句间依赖关系区分的根本标准。文章通过添加疑问语气词、变换语调序列的方法,从疑问语气来检测小句复合体中的首要句和次要句是否同时具有语气,研究结果表明,并列关系小句复合体中的两个小句各自都有语气选择,主从关系小句复合体中,首要句有语气选择,而次要句没有语气选择;这一结果也进一步证实,系统功能语言学理论具有普遍性和适应性。

There is a great divergence of opinions towards the differentiation of paratactic or hypotactic relationship between the clauses in clause complexes in Mandarin Chinese. Taking a functional approach, this paper, based on the assumption that there is tactic relationship in clause complexes, advances that mood is the final criterion to distinguish the two types of dependent relationships. The paper takes an interrogative mood test to check whether both primary clause and secondary clause have mood choice by adding interrogative particles and changing tone sequence. The result shows that in paratactic clause complexes, both clauses have mood choice, while in hypotactic clause complexes, only the primary clause does. The study further demonstrates that Systemic Functional Linguistics is General linguistics and Appliable linguistics.
