汉语语法研究中的韵律原则——从《中国话的文法》谈语法与韵律的互动研究

Principle of Prosody in Chinese Grammatical Studies——On Grammatical Interaction Studies from the Perspective of A Grammar of Spoken Chinese

汉语韵律作为一项语法原则,始自赵元任先生和他的《中国话的文法》,其中蕴涵着丰富的句法与韵律相互制约思想;这一思想是20世纪90年代中国韵律句法学得以产生的基础,也为以韵律与句法、语义、语用的互动来研究汉语开辟了广阔的前景。

Prosody, as a grammatical principle, is initially fully explored in YuenRenChao's linguistic analysis, especially, his A Grammar of Spoken Chinese, which contains rich discussion on the interactive relations between syntax and prosody, and which lays a solid foundation for the emergence of prosodic syntax. The article comes up with the conclusion that a perspective of grammatical interaction among prosody, syntax, semantics and pragmatics opens up a promising field for linguistic research on Chinese.
