摘要

普通话在所有句法功能中,没有动词的一致标记,公开表达论点的比例很低。有人声称,普通话比其他语言表现出更高的零争论率。大多数先前的研究都将普通话与英语进行了比较,而与其他语言的比较仍然是一种渴望。这项研究比较了普通话和来自Multi-CAST的七种语言(塞浦路斯希腊语、英语、北库尔德语、三语、泰普语、通达诺语、维拉语)(Haig & Schnell 2019)。结果表明,虽然普通话比代词出现了更多的零论点,但这并不是唯一的,例如塞浦路斯希腊语的零论点率更高。此外,不同语言的词汇表达率相对稳定,这进一步巩固了汉语在指称选择方面的独特地位。

Comparing zero and referential choice in eight languages with a focus on Mandarin Chinese
Mandarin has a low rate of overtly expressed arguments in all syntactic functions without agreement marking on the verb. It has been claimed that Mandarin exhibits higher rates of zero arguments than other languages. Most previous work has compared Mandarin with English, while comparison with other languages remains a desideratum. This study compares Mandarin with seven languages (Cypriot Greek, English, Northern Kurdish, Sanzhi, Teop, Tondano, Vera’a) taken from Multi-CAST (Haig & Schnell 2019). Results suggest that while Mandarin exhibits more zero arguments than pronouns, this is not unique, with e.g. Cypriot Greek having a higher rate of zero arguments. In addition, a relatively stable rate of lexical expressions can be found across languages, relativising Mandarin’s unique position with regard to referential choice even further.

期刊介绍: Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
