Is Antecedent Government Workable? -- Evidence from Chinese

先行詞管轄可行乎？——中文的見証

本文旨在探討管轄約束理論（Government & Binding Theony）中先行詞管轄（Antecedent Government）的可行性。全文以分析中文語料為主，評估杭士基（Chomsky 1986）理論下，黃正德教授（1982）對中、英問句空詞（empty category）的分析。本文提出「再指引法則」（Reindexing）取代黃教授之詞義管轄（Lexical Government），並強調中文開句中空詞的特異性可在先行詞管轄下暸解無疑。

The aim of this paper is to show that antecedent government can replace theta government and lexical government by reexaminig Huangs (1982) data within the Barriers framework (Chomsky 1986). Assuming that lexical government is a relevant condition of the ECP, Huang (1982) claims that Chinese does not have a subject/object asymmetry because Infl in Chinese, unlike English, is a lexical governor.
