本文对英语发展史上出现的严格VO语序的转变进行了新的分析。我们开始指出,以前对这种转变的描述至少有两个原因是有问题的。首先,他们没有解释为什么英语在其历史的某个时刻成为一种严格的语序语言,也没有解释为什么它成为严格的VO而不是严格的OV。其次,它们没有捕捉到一些历时性和跨语言的事实。我们提供了一个原则性的帐户转移到严格的VO下,这些事实落入地方。我们认为,英语中严格VO的设置是由于名词的m(形态)格的丢失所必需的。这是从一个理论,其中零情况指数的存在需要在PF接口的本地许可。
This paper proposes a novel analysis of the shift to the strict VO word order in the history of English. We begin with pointing out that the previous accounts of this shift are problematic at least for two reasons. First, they do not explain why at some point in its history English became a strict word order language, nor why it became strict VO rather than strict OV. Second, they do not capture a number of diachronic and cross-linguistic facts. We provide a principled account of the shift to the strict VO under which these facts fall into place. We argue that the setting of strict VO in English was necessitated by the loss of m(orphological)-case on nominals. This follows from a theory in which the presence of zero case exponents requires local licensing at the PF interface.
