Abstract

In this paper, I focus on the Mandarin spatial preposition zai (‘at’), which can appear in the VP domain, like other spatial prepositions, but which can also appear in the TP domain, where it’s presence or absence is sensitive to the animacy and definiteness properties of its object. I argue that zai’s distribution and behavior in the TP domain is expected if it functions as a differential argument marker triggered by internal topicalization of its object. Implications of the current analysis for the internal structure of spatial PPs are also considered.

汉语中的特殊介词zai与差异论证标记
在本文中,我关注普通话空间介词zai('at'),它可以像其他空间介词一样出现在VP域,但也可以出现在TP域,在TP域中,它的存在或不存在对其宾语的动物性和确定性很敏感。我认为,如果zai作为一个由其对象的内部主题化触发的微分自变量标记,那么它在TP域中的分布和行为是可以预期的。还考虑了当前分析对空间PPs内部结构的影响。
