It remains controversial whether Chinese Topic is base-generated or derived through movement. Based on the Phase Theory of Minimalism, this paper reexamines some Chinese possessor Topic Constructions. It is proposed that before the possessor movement the possessor and the possessum are base-generated in the same DP. When this DP is not in the Edge position of a Phase, that is, not in Spec-CP or Spec-v*P, the possessor can move to the Topic position. Otherwise, owing to the violation of the Specifier Condition the derived construction will be ill- formed. This new perspective provides evidence for the hypothesis that Chinese Topic is derived through movement. The syntactic status of modal particles, by Yang Yongzhong, p.339 This paper discusses the syntactic status, distribution and constraints on the generation of modal particles in generative grammar. It is held that modal particles are different from each other in syntactic distribution, but have similar syntactic function and generation positions. In syntactic structure, modal particles of the same type occupy the same position while modal particles of different types occupy different positions. Modal particles can specify the type of a sentence, thus occupying the position C. Since interrogative, imperative and exclamatory sentences are generated on the basis of declarative sentences, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory modal particles can co-occur with declarative modal particles. In an embedded clause, however, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory modal particles cannot occur. Furthermore, modal particles are arranged hierarchically and linearly, which is due to the interaction between locality and prominence. The conclusion has been testified cross-linguistically.
The Implicational Universals Hypothesis and grammatical idiosyncrasies: Justification and interpretation, Yu Xiujin and Jin Lixin, p.347 Taking the cross-linguistic tendency of “post-posing attribute implicating post-posing adverbial” as the implicational universal hypothesis, this paper explores the feasibility of the research paradigm from hypothesis attestation to theory establishment in SVO, SOV and VSO language types. For the grammatical position of the primary predicate, a predicative attribute hierarchy occurs among typical adjective attributives and manner adverbials. In the interaction among Primary Predicate Prominence Rule, Semantic Adjacency Rule and Noun Phrase Integration Rule, a tetrachoric table is attested among the dominant word orders in SVO, SOV and VSO, while “post- posing attribute and pre-posing adverbial” may occur in recessive word orders. The implicational universal theory also offers a new interpretative perspective to the grammatical idiosyncrasy in the listing item of Mandarin deng construction functioning as object. A new explanation of xiehouyu based on the philosophy of mind, by He Aijing, p. 356 This paper aims to expound the generation mechanism of xiehouyou from the perspective of the philosophy of mind. After a description of the mental activities, a flowing chart concerning the process of generation is proposed. It is found that intentionality covers an intentional content and an intentional attitude: the former determines the event which is expressed, and the latter concerns the emotional standpoint the speaker adopts towards the event. The event is considered to be a physical 436process for generating houyu, about which a kind of mental property about the speaker’s feelings and consciousness is supervened. Then a complete form of xiehouyu comes into being, with words expressing both the physical event as houyu and the mental property as qianyan.
On the lexical preference in the corpus-based approach to systemic functional grammar, by Liu Jianpeng and Yang Bingjun, p. 364 The corpus-based approach to Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) is an attestable research based on the concordance and analysis of the linguistic data within the framework of SFG. However, the lexical preference in corpus linguistics (CL) has been neglected, which results in more research into the probability profile of figures across discourses and less attention about the probability profile of the linear functional co-occurrences of the potential word-class members in figures’ construction. Besides, pure manual syntactic annotation at clause level is the bottleneck in processing large-scaled data. Therefore, this study proposes that the lexical preference in CL should be emphasized so as to find a semi-automatic syntactical coding by editing coding frames and defining lexical features, by using Wordsmith and UAM Corpus. The effects of task type and frequency factors on Chinese EFL learners’ phrasal idiom learning: Revisiting the Involvement Load Hypothesis, by Wei Mei and Wang Lifei, p.372 This study explores effects of task type and frequency on learning English phrasal idioms by Chinese tertiary EFL students. Three tasks were designed and DMDX experimental materials were compiled. Eighty-six junior English majors were divided into three experimental groups, participating in pretests, experiments and posttests, and thirty subjects were interviewed. The phrase knowledge test suggested that task type did not significantly affect English phrasal idiom learning. However, reading plus multiple choice proved to be most efficient. The DMDX test has shown that in terms of reaction time and error rate, reading plus blank-filling was most efficient, task type and frequency significantly affected English phrasal idiom learning. This study encourages reexamination of “Involvement Load Hypothesis” and forms of EFL exercises.(本论文由http://整理提供,如需转载,请注明出处或联系我们的客服人员)
