摘要
格理论和扩充的投射理论EPP不能对被动结构的推导动因做出完全解释;被动结构的形成与及物动词在句法层面的被动化有关;在Chomsky(1995)最简方案的框架内,运用VP嵌套理论能够对被动句式做出合理的句法解释:NP的前移是为了满足对T的强D特征核查的要求。
A full interpretation of the derivation of English passive cannot be made via Case Theory and EPP; formation of the passive construction concerns passivivation of the transitive in the syntactic level. In the framework of MP (outlined mainly in Chomsky 1995), an appropriate syntactic interpretation of this sentence type may be achieved via VP Shell Hypothesis: NP-raising is motivated to check the strong D-feature of T.
