Résumé Le présent article porte sur la structure interne des constructions causatives du français. Son argumentation se base sur deux idées essentielles : que l'interprétation de respectivement révélerait l'effet d'intervention dans les constructions bi-propositionnelles, et que la montée du quantifieur serait soumise à la minimalité et à la Condit...

Causatives and passives are two different types of syntactic constructions, but their interaction can be observed cross-linguistically. By investigating the causative-passive correlation in Chinese, English and French, we try to offer an appropriate account for the causative-passive correlation by specifying its necessary conditions. We argue that...

Based on the revised syntactic structures of the faire-causatives in French, this article argues that the placement of different clitics in the faire-causatives can be well accounted for by making reference to the feature defectivity/completeness of clitics and that of their host. On the one hand, the faire-à (FA) construction involves a biclausal...

The present study focuses on the syntax of the sentence-final particle gaa3 in Cantonese from a cartographic perspective. Gaa3 can be observed in three distinct constructions (exclamative, declarative and interrogative) with respect to five different contexts (plain statement, simple information-seeking question, exclamation, warning, and quick-ans...

This study focuses on the syntactic distribution and the licensing strategy of French clitics. Previous studies attribute cliticization in French either to structural deficiency or to feature defectivity of clitics. Nevertheless, neither of these two approaches can offer a unified explanation for the clitics various morphological externalizations o...

移位是生成句法理论框架中的核心句法操作之一。随着理论的发展，移位被归结为各类句法动因，但学者们对于移位的动因始终未达成共识。例如，在最简方案框架下，Chomsky（1995，2000，2001，2004，2008）就曾提出强制D特征（Strong D Feature）、EPP特征、OCC特征（Occurrence feature）、EF特征（Edge feature）等各类形式特征作为移位的驱动力，而Chomsky（2013，2015）又将移位归结为短语加标算法（Labeling Algorithm）中的计算规则之一。针对句法移位分类混乱不清的问题，本文综合考察各类短语句法移位，在此基础上提出句法移位可根据动因分成两类：一类为实现语段的特征聚合（Feature Convergence），另一...

The present study focuses on the refutatory wh-sentences in Chinese. The main idea is twofold. First, contrary to the previous accounts arguing for the interrogative nature of refutatory sentences, we argue that refutatory wh-sentences exclude the interrogative force and should be distinguished from rhetorical questions accordingly. Second, we will...

生成语法的最简方案框架包含语段阻隔条件和相对最简条件两个局域性条件。这两个条件是人类语言运算系统达成运算简约性的重要工具，而二者能否进一步归纳合并对达成人类语言运算系统的最优设计和精简句法理论具有重要意义。本文以法语附着化、英语量化提升以及汉语副词“分别”引导的映射分布解读为切入点，借由考察跨语言中的局域性现象，探究两种局域性条件的异同。本文主张两种局域性条件都是人类语言运算系统中的必要组成部分。语段阻隔条件限制句法运算，而相对最简条件限制语义运算。因此，两种局域性条件作用于不同的运算层面，二者分工不同，缺一不可。

Central to the passive construction in Chinese is the categorial status of the passive marker bei and the syntactic nature of passivization. In this respect, different analyses have been proposed in the literature. The passive marker bei is argued to be a preposition, a verb, or a passivization morpheme. Accordingly, some scholars propose analysis...

本文以法语和斯堪的纳维亚语言中的附着化和宾语前置性现象为参照，对比研究汉语‘所’字结构中‘所’的句法特性。本文认为‘所’的句法地位介于完整DP和罗曼语附着词之间，因此汉语中不存在‘所’嵌入动词的操作；‘所’的移位受v*上的边界特征EF驱动，因此该移位的句法性质是宾语前置，而非附着化。‘所’出现的Specv*P位置是非A位置，因此‘所’必需出现在非A句法环境中。

This paper discusses the syntactic and semantic properties of post-verbal durative/frequency phrases in Mandarin Chinese. We have presented several analyses of post-verbal durative/frequency phrases in the generative literature and pointed out that none of them can correctly predict the syntactic distribution which is affected by both aspectual suf...

The present work focuses on the respectively-interpretation of the adverb fenbie in Chinese and its counterparts in English and French. It is shown that intervention eff ects are observable in the respectively-interpretation in bi-clausal constructions in these languages, with the subject of the embedded clause functioning as an intervenor. However...

The followings examples all contain the quantity expression yidianr, which is interpreted as "any". 1 (1a) shows that yidianr is licensed in the domain of the grammatical negation mei. (1b) shows that it can also be licensed by pragmatic negation expressed by a rhetorical positive question. (1c) and (1d) involve respectively the focus construction...

Résumé L'expression durative postverbale en chinois mandarin a été traitée dans quatre approches différentes dans la littérature, à savoir l'approche de complément, l'approche de prédicat, la cooccurrence des structures de complément et de prédicat et l'approche d'adjoint. Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse combinatoire par adjoint et par...

Cette thèse est centrée autour des problèmes concernant les constructions causatives du français et du chinois, elle se veut une contribution empirique et théorique à l’étude formelle des systèmes verbaux du français et du chinois. Il sera montré que la défectivité en traits des têtes de phases joue un rôle important motivant la formation des const...

This paper explores a typology of overt coordination in additive numerals in a number of minority languages in South China. Among approximately 100 minority languages surveyed, 26 languages feature different coordinators for additive numerals and noun phrases. We show that these two types of coordinators are not semantically, etymologically, or mor...
