摘要

摘要本文研究了状语从句中一个研究不足的话题，即状语从句，这是一种标记状语从属关系的动词形式。以广东话中的转换从句为例，我发现它们不具有统一的句法，应该分为两类，分别由中心转换从句（如V-can1形成的条件从句）和外围转换从句（例如V-dak1形成的推理从句）组成。中心类与主从句的事件/命题层次的投射关系较低，内部结构较差，而边缘类与主句的话语层次的投射联系较高，内部结构清晰。这种区别与Haegeman（2003a，2003b，2010）提出的状语从句的中心-外围二分法表现出显著的相似性，该二分法要求由动词和从属词形成的状语从句有一个统一的句法，这在对动词的一致性分析下是可以实现的。

Converbs and Adverbial Clauses: A Case Study in Cantonese

Abstract This paper investigates an understudied topic in adverbial clauses, converbs, which are verb forms that mark adverbial subordination. Focusing on converbal clauses in Cantonese, I show that they do not share a uniform syntax and should be divided into two classes, formed by central converbs (such as conditional clauses formed by V-can1) and peripheral converbs (such as inferential clauses formed by V-dak1) respectively. The central class adjoins low to the event/proposition level projections of the main clauses and has an impoverished internal structure, whereas the peripheral class attaches high to the discourse level projections of the main clauses and has an articulated internal structure. The distinction displays remarkable parallelism with the central-peripheral dichotomy of adverbial clauses proposed by Haegeman (2003a, 2003b, 2010), calling for a unified syntax of adverbial clauses formed by converbs and by subordinators, which is achievable under an agreement analysis of converbs.

期刊介绍： STUDIES IN CHINESE LINGUISTICS is an international academic journal devoted to comparative study of Chinese language and linguistics and a platform for research of comparative linguistics and dialectal grammar under a comparative approach. We especially welcome synchronic or diachronic comparative works on any aspects of the syntax, semantics, and morphology among Chinese dialects or between a Chinese language/dialect and any languages that contribute to theoretical linguistics or have significant theoretical implications. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges.
