从汉语的角度看vP

Looking at vP from the Chinese perspective

虽然vP在句法分析中被广泛使用,但一些经常引用到的对vP的论证,细究起来仍存在不足。本文通过考察汉语中的自由旁格宾语,为动词短语之外存在vP提供新的证据。vP结构对句法理论的其他部分也会产生尚未引起注意的、甚至意想不到的影响,有的来自对v的应用(比如介入造句和构词机制的争论),有的则涉及v所应该具备的句法特征(如基于自由旁格宾语而确立的v与Burzio通则的关系)。

While vP is widely adopted in syntactic analyses,some popular arguments for its existence are not flawless.By looking into the phenomenon of liberal oblique objects in Chinese(e.g.,eat this restaurant and eat extravagance),this paper offers new evidence for vP outside VP.It also examines a few implications of vP that have not received attention from researchers,including howv affects the theory of word-formation and whether v plays a role in deriving Burzios generalization.
