本文探讨了英语状语从句中论元前置的限制,如 * 在上周修改这篇文章时,我突然想到另一种分析,这与罗曼语类似句中允许CLLD模式的事实相反。分析阐述了这一假设,即状语从句是由一个操作员的运动到他们的左边缘。因此,英语中的干预效果是可以预测的,因为操作符的移动与前置论元的移动相互作用。浪漫CLLD不会产生这种干预效应,因为后者是独立已知的,不会产生相同的干预效应。一些跨语言的建议的后果进行了探讨。
Abstract This paper examines the restriction on argument fronting in English adverbial clauses, as in *While this paper I was revising last week, I suddenly thought of another analysis, this in contrast with the fact that Clitic Left Dislocation (CLLD) patterns are allowed in the Romance analogues. An analysis is elaborated which explores the hypothesis that adverbial clauses are derived by movement of an operator to their left periphery. Intervention effects are thus predicted in English because the movement of the operator interacts with the movement of the fronted argument. No such intervention effects will arise with Romance CLLD as the latter is independently known not to give rise to the same intervention effects. Some cross-linguistic consequences of the proposal are explored.
