摘要
表征是参数的本质,GB与MP对类型差异与聚集效应的参数解释都以表征为基础.普遍性表征机制负责结构生成,特殊表征仲裁句法推导的良形性,因此表征不是浮现的,它比参数更接近柏拉图问题的优解;参数是由表征的良形条件触发的操作选项.MP参数理论以功能词项特征为参数格式的原子,但特征在各中心的分布、特征间关系、特征驱动的操作的可用性皆依赖句法层级表征.以剑桥派为代表的MP参数理论的成功取决于对参数的表征本质的认同程度与呈现方式.
Abstract
Representation is the essence of parameters.GB's and MP's parametric explanations for typological differences and clustering effects are both based on representation.The universal representation mechanism is responsible for structure generation,and the particular representation arbitrates the well-formedness of syntactic derivation.Therefore,representation is not emergent,and it is closer to the optimal solution of Plato's problem than parameters and a parameter is an operation option triggered by representative well-formedness condition.The MP parameter theory uses function words'features as the atoms of parameter format,but the distribution of features in various heads,the relationship between features,and the availability of feature-driven operations all depend on hierarchical syntactic representation.The success of the MP parameter theory represented by the Cambridge School depends on the degree of recognition and elaboration of the representational nature of parameters.
