西拉雅語句中的高位功能成分

Higher Functional Elements in Siraya Sentences

本文討論西拉雅語中的高位功能成分，如表達時態、語態、動貌、否定，模態等字詞。研究結果顯示，這些詞當中，有一些的確位於句法結構中較高的位置，但也有一些本身即是動詞，並不出現在特別高的結構位置，而是帶子句或動詞組謂語為補語。本文同時也討論了一些相關的問題，如動詞-語態-動貌結構體的生成，否定詞和模態詞的分類，以及不同C層次成分的階層關係。

"In this article, we survey higher functional syntactic elements in Siraya sentences, including elements that express tense, voice, aspect, negation, modality, and others. It is shown that some of them are high in structure, though some of them are lexical verbs taking clauses or verbal predicates as complements. We also discuss some related issues, such as the generation of the verb-voice-aspect complexes, classification of negators and modals, and the hierarchical structure of certain C-level elements."
