本文试图在“最简方案”生物语言学研究平台上,发挥Epstein等人“强势推导句法”的立论思想,提出了一个称作“连续合并论”的句法理论。其主要内容包括:(i)所有词项特征(包括词项的意义特征)都是关系性的特征;(ii)所有词项特征都依附在词项语音形态上,词项在词库存在的形态是两个持有某种词项关系的时序性组列,而不会孤立存在;(iii)词项关系是合并的动因和条件;(iv)当两个词项的合并结果可以同另外一个词项合并时,这两个词项才会实现合并,以使合并连续进行,直到全部关系性特征得以匹配;(v)标注词项合并结果的是没有声音形态的、尚未得到匹配的关系性特征;(vi)当两个合并标注持有某种关系满足合并条件时,其中一个可以实行“逆合并”。连续合并论对有形态词法的语言和没有形态词法的语言同时具有可操作性,而且在ECP、“结构岛条件”等方面和GB句法具有同等的解释力。
This paper tries to make use of Epstein et al’s theory of “strongly derived syntax” on the platform of “minimalist” bio-linguistics and proposes a syntax theory called “continuous combination theory.” The main contents include: (i) All lexical features (including the semantic features of lexical items) are all relational features; (ii) All lexical features are attached to the phonetic morphology of the lexical items, Morphology is a temporal group of two holding some kind of term relationship, but not exist in isolation; (iii) The term relationship is the motivation and condition of the combination; (iv) When the combined result of two terms can be the same as the other When a term is combined, the two terms are combined so that the consolidation continues until all the relational features are matched; (v) The combined result of the term entries is unvoiced and has not been matched Sexual characteristics; (vi) One of the two merger labels may implement a “reverse merge” when it holds a relationship that satisfies the consolidation criteria. Continuous Consolidation has operability at the same time for languages with morphological lexer and languages without morphological lexis, and has the same explanatory power as GB syntax for ECP and “structural island conditions ”.
