摘要

摘要在普通话中，如果将两个程度的wh-疑问从句组合在一起，wh短语就没有疑问阅读。本文认为，这种成对的wh-陈述性是一种等价的比较结构，就像英语中的as…as equivative一样，第一句表示比较的标准。像度比较结构一样，这种声明词是由比较量词的出现派生的，谓词抽象适用于每个子句。成对的wh形式是变量。研究表明，汉语中确实存在程度量化的比较结构，而且比较结构的两个分句都可能具有wh形式。

Pairing Degree-WH Clauses in Mandarin

Abstract In Mandarin, if two-degree wh-question-like clauses are combined, the wh-phrases do not have a question reading. This paper argues that such a paired-wh declarative is an equative comparison construction, like the as…as equative in English, and the first clause denotes the standard of the comparison. Such declaratives, like a degree comparison construction, are derived by the occurrence of a comparison quantifier, and predicate abstraction applies to each clause. The paired wh-forms are the variables. This research shows that Mandarin does have degree quantificational comparison constructions, and it is possible for both clauses of a comparison construction to have a wh-form.

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.
