A Study on One-member Sentence:Present Situation and Its Prospect
One-member sentence is a very special language phenomenon which is extremely simplified in form,but it can fulfill the function of a sentence.At present,domestic researches on one-member sentence are mainly carried out in the category of non-subject-predicate sentences,while in foreign countries the researches are discussed in the category of interjections.This paper summarizes the present research situation of one-member sentence,including the traditional understandings of the nature and po-sition of one-member sentence,analyzes the problems existing in the traditional understandings and shows that the key to the study of one-member sentence lies in solving the mismatch between its form and function.Frege's Propositional Function Theory and Wittgenstein's Language Game can provide a new way to solve this mismatch,thus establishing a new research paradigm and promoting the in-depth development of the study on one-member sentence.
