角色指稱語法簡介

An Introduction to Role and Reference Grammar

角色指稱語法（Role and Reference Grammar，簡稱RRG）是由Robert Van Valin 和William Foley 在1980 年代所創立的功能語法理論，歷經二十多年的發展與修改（參Van Valin 1993b，Van Valin and LaPolla 1997，Van Valin 2005a），目前是功能語法領域中主要的理論之一。該理論的特色在於結合語法、語意及語用的觀點來分析討論跨語言間的各種語言現象。本文主要簡介該理論以下幾個部分：句構呈現、語意呈現、訊息結構、語法關係、聯結規則系統及複雜句結構等。

This paper offers a Chinese introduction to Role and Reference Grammar (RRG), an important theory of functional syntax, first developed in Foley & Van Valin (1984), later revised and elaborated in Van Valin (1993b), Van Valin & LaPolla (1997), and Van Valin (2005a). The feature of this framework lies in its incorporation of multi-level perspectives such as syntax, semantics, and pragmatics in the explanation and analysis of cross-linguistic phenomena. The introduction covers the following basic components of this framework: syntactic representations, semantic representations, information structure, grammatical relations, linking algorithm, and complex sentences.
