句子意义研究的若干问题

Studies on Several Questions of Sentence Meaning

句子意义是句子语义学研究的重要内容。本文就与组合意义、非组合意义、语义角色、语法关系等与句子意义有关的几个方面提出了几个问题:句子意义是否像词语意义那样是组合的?语言中有多少语义角色?从语义角色的视角如何对动词分类?语义角色与语法关系有何异同?语义角色在释义中有什么作用?笔者就这些问题发表了自己的一些看法,以期使对句子意义的研究更加深入和系统。

Sentence meaning is an important part in sentence semantics. We put forward several questions about sentence meaning： Is sentence meaning compositional like lexical meaning？ How many semantic roles are there in a language？ How to classify verbs according to semantic roles？ What are the relationship between semantic roles and syntactic relations？ What is the role of semantic roles in para- phrases？ Then we express our opinions about these questions, Imping to make the study of sentence meaning deeper and more systematic.
