摘要
在“原则与参数理论”框架下,对功能语类的研究集中在功能语类是否能引导自己独立的映射这一假说上。例如过去一直作为屈折结点一个组成部分的时态现在被认为是引导自己的映射TP。本文在这一背景下,讨论建立话题语类之假设,并进一步指出话题应分析为源生于Spec TopP位置,而不是衍生于它处由必然替换移动而形成。作者用现代汉语中的话题一论述结构论证这一假设的理论及实践意义。
With the renewed interest in functional categories in recent years much research in the Principles and Parameters framework has been centred on a popular hypothesis that functional categories head their own independent projections. For instance, Tense, which used to be treated as part of the Inflection node, is taken to head its own projection TP. This paper discusses the postulation of the functional category Topic against this background. It proposes that Topic originate from Spec TopP rather than being derived from obligatory substitution movement. Evidence supporting this argument is provided from the topic-comment construction in Modern Standard Chinese.
