现代汉语同一性定中结构及其主观性

The subjectivity of the identical modifier-head structure in Mandarin Chinese

同一性定中结构是现代汉语定中结构中比较特别的一类,本文从这类结构与“是”字句具有的变换关系入手分析其语义特点,发现其定语部分是说话人对事态或他人观点的客观转述,中心语是说话人对定语所表达内容的主观归类,整个结构的形成融合了主客观两种视角,体现出汉语特有的戏剧化主观性的特点。句法性质上,定语与中心语直接形成所谓—所以谓关系,也就是话题—说明关系。同时,本文还区分了同一性定中结构与“这”字同位结构。

The identical modifier-head structure is a special kind of modifier-head structure in Mandarin Chinese.Based on an investigation into the corresponding relations of this structure with the shi(是,‘be')structure,this paper argues that the modifier provides a way to report objectively the speaker's or others'opinion towards the event whereas the head is used by the speaker to categorize subjectively the semantic content of the attribute.The whole structure represents a merge of both the subjective and the objective angles,reflecting the"dramatic"subjectivity feature of Chinese.Syntactically,the modifier-head relation directly constitutes the"所谓-所以谓(suowei-suoyiwei,‘that predicated'-‘that predicates')"relation,which fundamentally is the"topic-comment"relation.This paper also makes a distinction between the identical modifier-head structure and the zhe(这,‘this')apposition.
