Linguistics要点
“Predication analysis” is a new approach for ntential meaning analysis. “Predication” is usually considered an important common category shared by propositions, questions, commands, etc. Predication is to break down the ntence into their smaller constituents: argument (logical participant) and predicate (relation element). The “predicate” is the major or pivotal element governing the argument. We may now distinguish a “two-place predicate” (which governs two arguments, e.g., subject and object), a “one-place predicate” (which governs one argument, i.e., subject) and a “no-place predicate” that has simply no argument (no real subject or object).
述谓结构分析:所谓述谓是指句子的抽象的语义内容,绝大多数的句子内容都是由一个人或物以及对这个人或物的表述构成的。从语义结构角度看,这两部分分别称为论元(argument)和谓语(predicate)。所谓述谓结构分析是指通过对这两部分的分析以达到对句子意义进行分析的许多模式中的一种。“述谓”和“谓语化”是所有的健全语句(如命题、即肯定句、否定句、疑问句和祈使句等)的共同特征。因此,语义学家就用“述谓”这一范畴并把它分解成变元和谓语,前者是“逻辑参加者”,后者是“关系因素”,负责把变元联系起来。
