摘要

汉语的wh条件句在语言类型学中占有非常特殊的地位。Cheng和Huang(1996)认为，通过将一对相同的h-表达式视为由隐式必要运算符非选择性绑定的语法变量，可以适当地分析该结构。多年来，通过对不定词、关联词、e型代词和疑问句的比较，这种思路受到了各种建议的挑战。这篇Insight文章通过暗指定量反射加倍来论证这种特殊类型的驴句的非选择性绑定方法。我们的研究结果不仅支持了在汉语句子尺度上建立算子变量对的观点，而且还呼吁对反身词与wh-in- in之间的类型关联进行细粒度的语法和语义研究。

WH & SELF: ON CORRELATING WH-CONDITIONALS AND REFLEXIVE DOUBLING

Chinese wh-conditionals hold a very special status in linguistic typology. Cheng and Huang (1996) argues that the construction can be properly analyzed by treating a pair of identical wh-expressions as syntactic variables unselectively bound by an implicit necessity operator. Over the years, this line of thinking has been challenged by various proposals based on the comparison with indefinites, correlatives, E-type pronouns and questions. This Insight article argues for the unselective binding approach to this particular type of donkey sentences by alluding to quantificational reflexive doubling. Our findings not only lend support to the idea that an operator-variable pair is built on a sentential scale in Chinese, but also call for a fine-grained syntax and semantics of the typological correlations between reflexives and wh-in-situ.
