汉语悬垂话题句推导再研究

Reanalysis of Chinese Dangling Topic Construction’s Derivation

汉语悬垂话题结构因为其特殊性,先前的研究对其推导总是有着主观定性、解释力不足等缺陷。文章将语段理论下广义存现句结构分析法运用到汉语悬垂话题句分析中,发现悬垂话题确实具有抽象处所概念。这一分析方法很好地解释了悬垂话题的格位问题,并指出一般话题句和悬垂话题句均由移位生成而来,只是生成起始位置不同。最后,通过指出悬垂话题并不是动词的必有论元,指出其起始生成在轻动词短语vP的指定语上是合理的。

Because of the particularity of the dangling topic construction in Chinese, there are deficiencies like qualitative derivation and not interpretative enough in previous studies. The article applies the method of analyzing the General Existential-presentative Construction based on Phase Theory into the derivation of dangling topic construction, and finds out the dangling topic does have the abstract concept of location. This method successfully explains the case problem of the dangling topic, and points out that both the topic construction and dangling topic construction are generated by the movement. The difference is in the start position of generation. Finally, by pointing out that the dangling topic is not the obligatory argument of the verb, it is pointed out that its initial generation is reasonable in the designation of the light phrasal verb vP.
