摘要

Kim, Jong-Bok和Rui P. Chaves, 2020。英语小定语从句的结构分析。语言研究37(3):389-438。英语语法理论中对小分句(包括非限定分句)的正确处理一直存在争议。有支持-也有反对- SCs假设的论据，以及其多种分析替代方案。根据Pollard和Sag(1994)以及Culicover和Jackendoff(2005)的研究，我们认为只有一小部分英语动词允许SC补语，而有一大家族的结构是由[NP谓词]序列构成的。然而，我们背离了后者，在这组结构中包括了动名词短语、绝对结构，尤其是主语-助动词倒装结构和连词。我们形式化了HPSG(头部驱动短语结构语法)中这些结构家族的一般说明。(庆熙大学∙布法罗大学)

A constructional account of English small and nonfinite clauses

Kim, Jong-Bok and Rui P. Chaves. 2020. A constructional account of English small and nonfinite clauses. Linguistic Research 37(3): 389-438. The proper treatment of so-called Small Clauses (SC) including nonfinite clauses has been rather controversial in theories of English grammar. There are arguments for – as well as arguments against – the postulation of SCs, and multiple analytical alternatives thereof. Drawing from Pollard and Sag (1994) and Culicover and Jackendoff (2005), we argue that only a small set of English verbs allow SC complements, and that there is a large family of constructions where [NP Predicate] sequences form a constituent. We depart from the latter, however, in including in this set of constructions gerundive phrases, absolute constructions, and – most notably – subject-auxiliary inversion constructions and SCs. We formalize a general account of these families of constructions in HPSG (Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar). (Kyung Hee University ∙ University at Buffalo)

期刊介绍： Linguistic Research is an international journal which offers a forum for the discussion of theoretical research dealing with natural language data. The journal publishes articles of high quality which make a clear contribution to current debate in all branches of theoretical linguistics. The journal embraces both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, and carries articles that address language-specific as well as cross-linguistic and typological research questions. The journal features syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, phonetics, and pragmatics and is currently published quarterly (March, June, September, and December), including the special September issue with a particular focus on applied linguistics covering (second) language acquisition, ESL/EFL, conversation/discourse analysis, etc. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to double-blind peer review by independent expert referees.
