叶斯柏森句法公式系统研究

Jespersen's Syntactic Formula System

丹麦语言学家奥托·叶斯柏森在语法哲学、英语语法等方面的研究在学界独树一帜,对其后语言学研究具有很大影响。在其语法研究中,叶氏逐渐形成一套句法标注符号系统,该系统是理解叶氏语法研究和语言学思想的重要工具。文章通过介绍和解析叶氏句法公式系统,包括符号的意义以及描写句子的方法,以期能为语言学、叶氏研究者提供参考。

Otto Jespersen,a Denmark linguist,has made unique contribution to linguistics with his studies on grammar philosophy and English grammar,which has great influence on later linguistic studies. Jespersen develops a set of formula for syntactic elements along with his linguistics studies. This syntactic symbol system is a key instrument to understand his grammar philosophy and linguistic philosophy. It is to introduce,as well as interpret,the symbols and formula including the meaning of the symbols and the ways they describe sentences.It is expected to provide a documentary reference for the scholars and readers in this domain.
