【摘要】 九十年代,生成语法在理论方法上出现了重大进展,Chomsky提出的最简方案引发了一场语言学理论反思,在这样的背景下Brody提出了比最简方案更激进的语言学理论——词汇逻辑式理论(LLFT),取消移动,改造投射,用语链解释以往用显性移动和隐性移动所解释的语法关系,Brody试图用他的新理论考察原有的原则与参数理论,但是LLFT的兼容性较差,无法令人满意地分析已有较佳解释的大量语法现象。本文主要针对Brody的一些核心思想作个初步的介绍并指出理论中的不足之处。更多还原

【Abstract】 The 1990’s witnessed great changes in generativist theories when Chomsky’s Minimalist Program initiated examinations of linguistic theories. In this background Brody put forth a radically Minimalist theory Lexico-Logical Form, which cancels movement, reshapes projection, and explains in terms of chains, grammatical relations that have been examined by theories with overt and covert movements. Brody attempts to examine principles & parameters theories within his new framework, in which the lexical input is not related to the interface level through a derivation and semantic interpretation rules and the lexicon have access to the same interface, the level of Lexico-Logical Form. He adopts the copying approach, arguing that at LLF all copies must be present simultaneously. However, Brody’s theory is not quite compatible with the P&P theories and fails to analyze satisfactorily the existing evidence that has been explained with clarity. This paper discusses some key issues of Brody’s theory and points out its weakness.更多还原
