內容簡介
《句法與信息結構界面的優選論分析(英文版)》主要基於優選論句法(OT-Syntax)的理論框架,通過建立句法和信息結構的約束條件,論述了英漢句法和信息結構的互動界面,從優選論的角度來探索英漢句法生成的規律。《句法與信息結構界面的優選論分析(英文版)》主要內容涵蓋英漢句子信息結構的研究綜述及其約束條件的建立、優選論句法研究綜述及其約束條件的建立、優選論句法分析等,涉及漢英主語條件、名詞移位(NP-movement)、話題化、懸垂話題(dangling topic)、賓語移位(object shift)和疑問詞移位(wh-movement)等各種重要句式。《句法與信息結構界面的優選論分析(英文版)》創新地運用優選論句法的理論,從全新的角度對英漢不同句式的生成進行了的理論探索,以剖析英漢語言的生成規律。《句法與信息結構界面的優選論分析(英文版)》適合語言研究學者、英漢語言專業碩士和博士研究生、計......
