The Structural Basis for the Correspondence Between Clause-typing Positions and Speaker Attitudes in Chinese Polar Questions
Based on the presence(absence)of speaker attitudes,Chinese polar questions(both in Mandarin and dialects)can be classified into two types:type 1 which carries the feature[+attitude],including ma(吗)-questions and intonation-marked questions;type 2 which carries the feature[-atti-tude],including A-NOT-A questions and F-VP questions.The members of polar questions show a correspondence between clause typing positions and speaker attitudes,with those typed at TP bearing[-attitude]and those typed at CP bearing[+attitude].The above correlation is rooted in the archi-tecture of syntax proposed in Cartographic Approach,and also evidenced by cross-linguistic data.
