英文摘要 |
The purport of this paper is to investigate the structure of relative clauses in Jianshi Squliq Atayal. In terms of the external structure between relative clause and head noun, it is shown that the unmarked word order is postnominal and that prenominal relative clauses are only licensed by topic. This incongruity is due to the restrictiveness of prenominal relative clauses and the influence of discourse structure. As for the internal structure inside relative clauses, it is observed that relativization in Jianshi Squliq Atayal complies with the subject-only constraint in Givón (1990). Besides, this constraint also applies to the resumptive pronouns in relative clauses. Even genitive resumptive pronouns have to occur inside the subject noun phrase. Finally, with the support of the wh-island, it is proven that relativization in Jianshi Squliq Atayal does not involve movement, unlike what we can see in English.
本文目的在於研究尖石賽考利克泰雅語關係子句的結構。就關係子句與先行詞的外部結構而言,最基本的線性次序是置於名詞之後,而名前關係子句只能修飾在話題的名詞組。這樣的不對稱其實是受到關係子句的限制性和言談層次的雙重影響。至於關係子句內部的結構,我們觀察到關係化遵守著Givón(1990)所提的「唯主詞」制約,同樣的制約也限制這個語言的接應代詞,甚至連所有格接應代詞都必須出現在主詞名詞內部。最後,藉由疑問詞孤島效應,尖石賽考利克泰雅語的關係子句證實並無牽涉到移位,這一點不同於英語。 |
