零形回指在汉语不同体裁语篇中的分布

Distribution of Zero Anaphora in Chinese Texts of Different Genres

研究选取了三种汉语常用体裁的语篇,对其中的零形回指数量与分布进行分析和比较。从数量看,新闻语篇和学术语篇中的零形回指偏少,叙事语篇偏多。从位置分布看,新闻语篇最简单,叙事语篇最复杂。在共性方面,无论是零形回指的位置还是先行语位置,三种体裁都以主语为主,而且,排在前三位的都是S-S、T-S、O-S位置关系的零形回指。其他位置关系的零形回指很少。这些共性对于进行汉语零形回指规则描写和计算机应用均具有意义。

Texts of three genre types were selected to study and compare the amount and the distribution of zero anaphora in Chinese. It is found that journal and academic texts use much less zero anaphora than narratives. The positional distribution in journal texts is the simplest while the one in narra-tive texts is the most complicated. The commonalities are that the subject position is predominant for both the zero anaphors and their antecedents and that S-S, T-S, O-S positional relations rank as the top three for all the three genre types in Chinese.
