浅谈生成语法框架下的句法推导——从语义理论到特征核查

Brief Discussion on the Syntactic Derivation under the Framework of Generative Grammar—From Theta Theory to Feature Checking

本文专注于生成语法框架下对于句子生成推导的理论概念,简要描述了从上世纪50年代起至本世纪初的该框架下的理论差异。本文对于管辖与约束理论和最简方案框架下的句法推导操作进行了详细的介绍与评价,并认为在生成语法框架的不断更新中,对于句子生成起到相当解释作用的理论主要有为管约论下的语义理论以及最简方案下的特征核查理念两种。

This article focuses on the theoretical concepts of sentence derivation under the framework of Generative Grammar, and briefly describes the theoretical differences under this framework from the 1950s to the beginning of this century. This article makes a detailed introduction and evaluation of the Government &Binding theory and the syntactic derivation operation under the framework of the minimalist program. The article holds that in the continuous updating of the Generative Grammar, the theories that play a considerable role in explaining sentence generation mainly include the Theta theory and the concept of feature checking.
