Abstract

This article provides a syntactic analysis of the inclusory plural pronominal construction in Fenno‐Swedish and Finnish. In this construction, a plural pronoun has a singular reading: vimed Anna (literally “we …with Anna”) means ‘Anna and I’. In addition to the plural pronoun, the construction includes a comitative PP. Similar constructions can be found in several other languages, especially in the eastern parts of Europe which suggests it is an areal feature. The structural diversity of the construction in Fenno‐Swedish and Finnish seems to require an analysis that differs from previous analyses of other languages. Instead of a derivation involving movements, the study suggests that the analysis must employ an unvalued feature. In some well‐formed examples, the necessary movements would be far too complex for an appealing explanation. Additionally, the Fenno‐Swedish construction seems to allow an insight into a degree of development where the construction has not necessarily been fully grammaticalised.
我们......与安娜:芬兰语和芬兰-瑞典语中的包含复数的前置词结构*
本文对芬兰语和瑞典语中的包含式复数代词结构进行了句法分析。在该结构中,复数代词具有单数读音:vi ...med Anna(字面意思为 "我们......和 Anna")表示 "Anna 和我"。除了复数代词外,该结构还包含一个连词 PP。类似的结构在其他几种语言中也能找到,尤其是在欧洲东部地区,这表明这是一个地区性特征。芬诺-瑞典语和芬兰语中这种结构的多样性似乎要求我们进行不同于以往对其他语言的分析。研究表明,这种分析必须使用一种无价值的特征,而不是涉及动作的派生。在一些结构良好的例子中,必要的动作过于复杂,无法做出吸引人的解释。此外,Fenno-Swedish 结构似乎可以让人洞察到该结构不一定完全语法化的发展程度。
