论维吾尔语的连词短语

Conjunction Phrase in Uyghur

作者认为,为了体现自然语言的共同特征,并列结构可放在句法层面予以解释,归入连词短语,遵循二合原则作结构分析。

When dealing with coordinate structures in previous Uyghur syntactic studies, we used to classify them into separate groups such as coordinate noun phrases, coordinate adjective phrases, or coordinate complex sentences, etc. on the basis of their lexical category. Correspondingly, when interpreting their syntactic structure, we used to put them into three or more branches under one phrase node, violating the binarity principle. Nowadays the generative syntax is taking a newer approach in this regard, that is, to classify them all into one larger group, the ConjP（=conjunction Phrase）, ignoring their internal categorial identity, and ignoring whether the structure is connected by an overt conjunction or by a covert one. By doing this, we can adhere to the binarity principle in syntactic analysis in one hand; on the other hand we can also demonstrate the advantage of interpreting the same grammatical features reflected in natural human languages in the same categorial level.
