汉语代词句内指代的约束条件

Constraints on the intra-sentential co-reference of the Chinese pronouns

在考察代词句内指代的约束条件时,形式语法只关注句法因素而不考虑语用因素,因此结论不能令人满意。利用语用频率,可以解释一些形式语法不好解释或解释不好的问题,如领属代词的指代问题、复合句的代词指代问题等。文章通过4个方面的考察,发现影响汉语代词句内指代的因素除了句法结构外,还有谓词和语用频率。不过,它们在不同的句子中显著度不同。

As for the constraints on the intra-sentential co-reference of the Chinese pronouns,the formal syntax pays more attention to the syntactic factors and less attention to the pragmatic factors, which makes it difficult to give a satisfactory answer. The application of the frequency statistics in this research has solved some problems like the subordinate pronoun co-reference and the pronoun co-reference in complex sentences which the formal grammar has failed to expound. Through a study of four aspects, the research concludes that syntax is not the only condition which constricts the co-reference of Chinese pronouns. Besides, predicate and frequency also play a role but the prominence of their constraints varies with the change of the sentence type.
