Descriptive and Theoretical Investigation of Sub-Constructions.

这个项目试图对英语中的各种结构进行详细的调查。特别是，每个研究者都集中在一个相对公认的结构上，并试图探索它的子结构，检查它们在当代英语中的性质和它们的历史发展，以及它们在语言类型学中的地位。这是一个遥远的目标，工作仍在进行中，但每个研究者都获得了以下结果。Nagahara质疑了传统的二元关系分式，提出了一种三段式的分类：非限制性关系、限制性关系和补语关系。科马出版了一本关于英语历史的启蒙书籍，并为这本小册子撰写了一篇文章，讨论了英语历史背景下的“that-trace效应”。八木提出了聚焦粒子的理论。这本小册子的第一篇文章是对这一理论的阐述，重点是英语和日语中的even和sae。第二篇文章批判了聚焦粒子的运动理论。Kono发表了一篇关于Stripping的文章，讨论了它与焦点关联的相关性，以及其他一些与当前语言学理论有关的其他结构的文章。铃木已经发表了一篇关于案例和分裂ergativity与这个项目的文章，但他的博士论文提交给不列颠哥伦比亚大学贡献了这本小册子的一部分。鲍彻发表了两篇分析广播体育解说的文章。一是探讨广播体育解说的制度化特征，二是探讨广播体育解说的语调模式特征。

This project has attempted a minute investigation of various constructions in English. In particular, each investigator has focused on a relatively well-recognized construction and tried to explore its sub-constructions, examining theirnature in Contemporary English and their historical development, as well as their place in the typoligy of language. This being is a remote goal, the work is still on its way, but each investigator obtained the following results.Nagahara has questioned the traditional binary division of relative clauses, proposing instead a tripartite classification : non-restrictive, restrictive, and complement relatives.Koma has published an illuminating introductory book on the history of English, and contributes an article to this booklet which discusses the "that-trace effects" within the context of the history of English.Yagi has arrived at a theory of focusing particles. The first article in tjis booklet is an exposition of this theory, focusing on even in English and sae in Japanese. The second article criticizes a movement theory of focusing particles.Kono has published an article on Stripping, discussing its relevance to association with focus, as well as some other articles that deal with other constructions in connection with current linguistic theories.Suzuki has published an article on case and split ergativity in connection with this project, but contributes to this booklet partof his Ph.D.dissertation submitted to the University of British Columbia.Bowcher has published two articles that analyze radio sports commentating. Oneabout the institutionalized features of radio sports commentating, and the other is about its characteristic patterns of intonation.
