摘要
The Constraints on Thematic Role Arrangements and Information Structure in
Chinese Sentence-Initial Multiple Argument Constructions
PARK Jungku (Seoul National University)
This study investigates the constraints that affect the acceptability of
Chinese sentences in which two or more arguments occur in sentence-initial
position. The analysis is conducted from two primary perspectives: thematic
role arrangements and information-structural constraints.
First, to examine the constraints on thematic role arrangements, a substantial
number of sentence-initial multiple argument constructions were extracted
from corpora. The distributional tendencies of thematic roles were analyzed,
and further investigation was conducted into the possibility of permuting
their order. Based on these findings, a thematic role hierarchy governing the
linear arrangement of thematic roles in sentence-initial position is proposed.
Second, with respect to information-structural constraints, this study
explores how variations in the referential properties and length of sentence-
initial arguments, as well as structural alternations in the predicate, impact
sentence acceptability. The results demonstrate that such variations induce
shifts in information structure, which in turn can enhance the acceptability
of sentences that might otherwise be judged as less acceptable.
Through this study, it is shown that Chinese sentence-initial argument
arrangements tend to follow a thematic role hierarchy and that information
structure plays a crucial role in shaping the acceptability of sentence-
initial multiple argument constructions.
