A study of comparative syntax of Armenian and Gothic

在亚美尼亚语和哥特语版本与希腊语新约的比较分析的基础上，我们表明，亚美尼亚语和哥特语的句法完全由两种语言各自内部的自治规则系统控制，尽管尽可能忠实地翻译希腊语原文非常重要。特别是，我们的研究对象是并列结构，关系从句，亚美尼亚连接词t 'e，et' e和哥特式ei，bei，和亚美尼亚语的话语结构。此外，通过考察邻近的中古伊朗语，特别是西北伊朗语方言（包括帕提亚语）的句法特征对亚美尼亚语句法的影响，本文初步得出结论，这些语言对亚美尼亚语的影响并不像一些学者所想象的那样大。因此，很明显亚美尼亚语和哥特语固有的句法特征可以安全地进行比较。在这份研究报告中，我们从《圣马可福音书》中选取了一个希腊语、亚美尼亚语和哥特语的比较文本样本，并将其作为主要数据，试图描述并列结构、关系从句、亚美尼亚语和哥特语从属连词以及希腊语动词前缀的亚美尼亚语翻译特性的比较句法，并对《马可福音》11，1 -11进行了简短的话语分析。

On the basis of comparative analysis of the Armenian and Gothic versions with the Greek New Testament, we showed that the syntax of Armenian and Gothic is fully controlled by the systems of autonomous rules internal to each of the two languages, even though it was of great importance to translate the Greek original text as faithfully as possible. In particular, our objects of research are coordinate structures, relarive clauses, Armenian conjunctions t'e, et'e and Gothic ei, bei, and the discourse structure of Armenian. Moreover, by examining the problem about the influence of the syntactic features of the neighboring Middle Iranian, especially the Northwest Iranian dialects including Parthian upon the Armenian syntax, it is tentatively concluded that there was not so substantial strong influence of those languages as previously imagined by some scholars. Therefore, it became evident that the syntactic features inherent to Armenian and Gothic can be safely compared. In this research report a comparative text sample of Greek, Armenian and Gothic was presented from the Gospel according to St. Mark and, using it as main data, we attempted to describe a comparative syntax of coordinate structures, relarive clauses, Armenian and Gothic subordinate conjunctions, and Armenian translational properties for Greek verbal prefixes, with a short discourse analysis of Mk 11,1-11.
