Comparison of Simple Phase between English and Chinese: A Functional Approach
-
摘要: 以往的时相研究主要着眼于某一语言,重点讨论时相特征与动词分类的关系,忽视了简单时相和复合时相之分。文章以系统功能语言学为理论视角,明确指出时相应分为简单时相和复合时相两个类别,认为简单时相是小句的内在时间特征,仅由体现过程意义的小句成分决定。在此基础上,文章探讨了英汉语简单时相的体现方式,发现二者既存在共性,也存在个性。Abstract: Previous studies of phase mainly focus on one language. They aim to reveal the relationship between features of phase and classifications of verbs,but usually neglect the distinction between simple phase and complex phase. From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics,this study distinguishes simple phase from complex phase,and points out that simple phase refers to the internal temporal feature of a clause which is only revealed by the clausal element realizing the process meaning. Based on this concept,the present study makes a comparison of realizations of simple phase in English and Chinese,and finds that there are similarities and differences between them.
