98-17364Dubinsky & DaviesABSTRACTA workshop titled "The Role of Grammatical Functions in Transformational Syntax" will be held during the 1999 Linguistic Institute at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. The workshop will explore the place of grammatical functions (GFs) in transformational theories of syntax, which since Noam Chomsky's 1965 book Aspects of the Theory of Syntax have held that GFs such as subject and object are not primitives of the theory, but are defined in terms of the hierarchical configurations of phrase structure representations. Recent instantiations of these theories, such as Principles and Parameters and the Minimalist Program, have undergone revisions which incorporate principles utilizing GFs in a way that appears to admit their roles as primitives. These innovations raise the fundamental question of whether or not GFs can indeed be configurational, i.e. defined on phrase structure representations.The workshop will bring together the work of leading researchers relating to these issues, including: * - the ways in which GFs have been incorporated into current transformational theories; * - whether unitary configurationally defined GFs can be identified in current transformational syntax; * - if configurational definitions of GFs have been reduced to axioms of the theory, the degree to which these structural representations of GFs yield significant insights; * - the inventory of GFs that must be recognized in the theory; * - and whether all languages instantiate all projections involved in defining GFs.

98-17364 1999年伊利诺伊大学香槟分校语言学院将举办一个题为“语法功能在转换语法中的作用”的研讨会。 研讨会将探讨语法功能（GF）在句法转换理论中的地位，自诺姆·乔姆斯基（Noam Chomsky）1965年出版的《语法理论的各个方面》（Aspects of the Theory of Threat）一书以来，GFs（如主语和宾语）并不是该理论的原型，而是根据短语结构表征的层次结构来定义的。 这些理论的最新实例，如原则和参数和最简方案，已经经历了修订，其中包括原则，利用GF的方式，似乎承认他们的角色作为原语。 这些创新提出了一个基本问题，即GFs是否真的可以是构形的，即根据短语结构表征来定义。研讨会将汇集与这些问题有关的主要研究人员的工作，包括：* -GFs如何被纳入当前的转换理论; * -在当前的转换句法中是否可以识别出单一构形定义的GFs; * -GFs是否可以被定义为短语结构表征。* -如果GF的构形定义已经被简化为理论的公理，GF的这些结构表示产生重要见解的程度; * -理论中必须认识的GF清单; * -是否所有语言都实例化了定义GF所涉及的所有投影。
