现代汉语部分控制结构的句法分析

Syntactic Analysis of Partial Control Construction in Modern Chinese

真性部分控制结构中的控制项是被控制项的子集,二者之间不是绝对等同的关系。跨语言分析表明,控制从句的空主语在句法语义上是复数的。鉴于汉语缺乏显性的一致性特征,汉语真性部分控制结构的句法生成可以在最简方案的理论框架下通过移位分析法来进行,其中的空主语在基础生成时是一个以零形D为中心语的并列名词短语,内并列项是空语类pro,而外并列项是显性的DP,后者通过移位成为主句的控制项。

In true partial control construction,the controller is a subset of the controllee,which is a relation other than absolute identity.Cross-language analysis shows that the null subject of the control clause is syntactically and semantically plural.Since Chinese lacks overt agreement features,the syntactic generation of Chinese true partial control construction can be carried out in terms of the movement approach under the Minimalist Program.It is argued that the null subject is base-generated as a coordinate noun phrase,in which the head is a null D,the internal conjunct an empty category pro,and the external conjunct an overt DP,which moves to become the controller in the main clause.
