摘要:

The paper contains a preliminary analysis of some typical Polish relative constructions. The description is formulated in Referent Grammar (RG), a theory developed by Bengt Sigurd (1987) as a tool for parsing and computer translation. RG is a phrase structure grammar, inspired by categorial grammars and GPSG. It can be implemented directly in Prolog (Definite Clause Grammar).

摘要:

This paper deals with conditions for the selection of subject for certain Korean verbs which show an alternation between an unmarked stem and the marking of the stem with the so‐called passive suffix. These conditions are based on the relative positions of A(ctor) and U(ndergoer) on the personal hierarchy. However, there are cases where these conditions do not hold: a pragmatic notion of newsworthiness is invoked to account for this. It is claimed that one must take into account the speaker's prerogative to assess the relative newsworthiness of reporting an event/situation from the viewpoint of A or U. The proposal to be made here is an alternative to the notion of ‘control’ proposed by Klaiman (1984, 1987) and advocated by Allan (1987) to account for the active/passive alternation in K

摘要:

This paper discusses some markers of textual structure and their potential role in guiding the reader through an English expository text. A text is seen as a network of relations realizing both global structure encompassing the whole text and local relations between adjacent sentences. A prerequisite for a successful expository text is that readers perceive these structural relations. To ensure this, writers have certain devices at their disposal. The use and effects of some explicit markers of textual structure are discussed and exemlified. In clarifying the relations between various parts of a text these signals help in distinguishing between those portions which realize the writer's central goals and other portions which have a commenting and supporting nature.
