《左传》中回指旁语的篇章零形回指研究

Research on the Discourse Zero Anaphora with Insignificant Syntactic Position in Zuo Zhuan

文章对《左传》中先行词处于旁语位置的零形回指进行了考察,以期描写这些篇章零形回指的分布规律,考察他们的语篇选择机制。考察结果表明,虽然篇章零形回指的先行词处于旁语位置,但因受到语言经济省力、连续性、语义相容性诸原则以及其他话语语义信息的制约,即使先行词的句法位置不显著、先行词的可及性较低,语篇仍可使用零形回指。

This paper studies the zero anaphora which is the antecedent word with the insignificant syntactic position in Zuo Zhuan in order to describe the distribution regularity of the zero anaphora and discourse selection mechanism. The results show that although the antecedent word of the zero anaphora is in the insignificant syntactic position,due to the language economy,continuity,semantic compatibility principle and other constraints of the semantic information,the discourse can still use zero anaphora even if the syntactic position of the antecedent is insignificant and the accessibility of the antecedent is low.
