亨利·斯威特是 1 9世纪英国伟大的语言学家 ,在语法方面他最主要的代表作为《新英语语法》( 1 892 1 898)。本文将这部著作与刘复《中国文法通论》( 1 91 9)、金兆梓《国文法之研究》( 1 92 2 )进行对比 ,发现尽管后二者并未声明曾经参考了《新英语语法》 ,但我们有根据得出结论 :二者都受到了《新英语语法》的直接影响。以此为契机 ,本文对斯威特在中国文法界的其他影响作了进一步探讨 Henry Sweet was a great English linguist in the 19th century and his primary representative in grammar was “New English Grammar” (1892-1989). This paper compares this work with Liu Fu’s “General Theory of Chinese Grammar” (1991) and Jin Zhaazi’s “Study of Chinese Laws” (1992), and finds that although the latter two did not make any reference to New English Grammar, But we conclude on the ground that both are directly affected by the New English Grammar. Taking this as an opportunity, this paper further discusses Sweet’s other influences on Chinese grammar circles
