语段理论下汉语旁格宾语的生成

A phase-based approach to the derivation of the oblique object construction in Mandarin Chinese

虽然以往研究能解释汉语中旁格宾语的生成机制,但仍存在些许不足。语段理论能为旁格宾语的生成机制提供了一种新的解释:在旁格宾语结构中,动词的内论元为基础生成的空宾语e,旁格宾语实际上是介词脱落后的介词词组右附加到VP。由于e不具有语音特征,不会被拼读出来。因此在语音系统拼读后,最终得到旁格宾语出现在动词之后。

Previous studies can explain the derivation of oblique object in mandarin Chinese to a certain extent,however, they have their own limits. Based on Phase Theory, this paper proposes a new analysis in which the internalargument of the verb is treated as base-generated empty category and the oblique object which is a Preposition Phrasewith the preposition being deleted right adjoins to VP. Since the base-generated empty category has no phonetic features,it will not be spelled out in the phonetic system. As a result, the oblique object occurs directly after the verb in surfacestructure after Spell-Out.
