论英语基本句式之创造性运作

On Creative Operations Based on English Sentence Patterns

基于语言学视角,通过实例对基于英语基本句式的创造性运作进行推导与分析。研究表明该运作分为结构性与限定性两个层面。前者体现于基本句式本身及其结构成分均具有无限递归性。这一结构性递归运作使原本固定的句式成为了开放性的框架,为句子的生成提供了基本结构上进行无限创造的可能性。后者体现于限定语对句式成分NP或VP的递归限定运作具有无限循环性。限定性递归运作为任何NP或VP充分、确切或生动的表述提供了无限的空间。两个层面运作的开放性使句子的创造具有永久的可持续性。

This paper tries to study the recursive operations based on the English basic sentence patterns through an analysis of related examples.The analysis shows that not only the structure itself,but every element of the sentence patterns can be recursively used freely,which reveals that both the structure and the patterns are open-ended.They also reveal that the specification of NP or VP by employing specifiers recursively leads to the open endlessness of its operations.The openness of both the structure and the specification results in forever possibility of the sentence creating.
