Abstract

abstract

Anaphor binding is a broadly-studied and widely-used diagnostic for syntactic structure across languages: since anaphors (which are subject to Principle A of the Binding Theory) require an antecedent that is local, c-commanding and in an A-position, the possibility of anaphor binding is commonly used as a diagnostic for both c-command (e.g. Barss & Lasnik 1986) and A- vs. A'- distinction. This use of anaphor binding as a syntactic diagnostic is not without problems, however, as evidenced from the debate surrounding the structure of OVS sentences in Russian. The goals of this paper are, thus, three-fold: (a) to gain a better understanding of anaphor binding as a syntactic diagnostic, (b) to shed new light on the long-standing and hotly-debated puzzle of OVS sentences in Russian, and (c) to explore the interaction of syntax and semantics, as concerns binding and thematic roles.

理解 "自我 "的本质:俄语中的约束力和 OVS 词序
摘要 拟喻结合是一种在不同语言中被广泛研究和使用的句法结构诊断方法:由于拟喻(受结合理论原则 A 的制约)需要一个局部的、c-命令的和处于 A 位的前置词,拟喻结合的可能性通常被用作 c-命令(例如 Barss & Lasnik 1986)和 A- 与 A'- 区分的诊断方法。然而,将拟态结合用作句法诊断并非没有问题,俄语中围绕 OVS 句子结构的争论就证明了这一点。因此,本文的目标有三:(a) 更好地理解作为句法诊断法的拟喻结合;(b) 为俄语中长期存在并引起激烈争论的 OVS 句之谜提供新的线索;(c) 探讨句法与语义的相互作用,即结合与主题作用。

期刊介绍: Journal of Slavic Linguistics, or JSL, is the official journal of the Slavic Linguistics Society. JSL publishes research articles and book reviews that address the description and analysis of Slavic languages and that are of general interest to linguists. Published papers deal with any aspect of synchronic or diachronic Slavic linguistics – phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics – which raises substantive problems of broad theoretical concern or proposes significant descriptive generalizations. Comparative studies and formal analyses are also published. Different theoretical orientations are represented in the journal. One volume (two issues) is published per year, ca. 360 pp.
