摘要
文章从主语和主题的各自定义入手,提出应将主题视作一个句法概念,以便在句法层面上讨论主题突显性语言的语序类型意义。研究将主题看作是其与主题标记所构成的主题结构的核心,主题是基础生成在不处于句末的完整的句法成分,其占据相应句法结构中的特定位置T。从类型学的角度看,汉语小句首先生成的是句首的主题结构,主题结构与其后的述题合并生成了TP。而对于句法歧义句而言,本文主张将句首成分优先分析为主题。
This paper distinguishes the notion of ＂topic＂ and that of ＂subject＂ at the syntactic level. It is found that topic, which is base-generated in a non-final position of a sentence, is the head of a topic structure. Topic occupies a definite position of ＂T＂, which merges with its following comment to become ＂TP＂. The paper proposes that the clausal initial position in a syntactic ambiguous sentence should be analyzed as base-generated topic rather than subject.
