形式句法学视角下汉黎量词短语对比研究

Formal Syntactic Approach to the Comparative Analysis of Classifier Phrases in Chinese and Li Language

从形式句法学研究视角对汉黎量词短语句法特点进行对比分析,主要考察数量词短语线性语序、周遍性量词短语、量名一致等几个方面句法问题,以期从理论上对汉黎量词短语句法差异提出一些解释。研究发现,黎语量词短语线性顺序有别于汉语乃是句法移位操作所致;黎语量词重叠式CC缺乏是因为黎语量词语类CL不能在限定词中心语D位置基础生成;黎语量名一致揭示了黎语量词语类CL或许还携带印欧语言意义上性别范畴语义特征。

This paper makes a comparative analysis of classifier phrases in Chinese and Li language in the framework of formal syntax. To shed some light on the different behaviors of classifier phrases in Chinese and Li,it mainly entertains some syntactic problems concerning linear order of CLP,universal- quantified CLP and Agree between classifier and noun. It is argued that syntactic movements are involved in shaping the different linear orders of CLP in Chinese and Li,that classifiers cannot reduplicate as CC structure in Li since CL cannot base generate in D position in Li,and that gender feature in the sense of Indo- European languages may also be observed via an analysis of Agree between classifier and noun in Li.
