OBJECT SHIFT IN MANDARIN CHINESE
论汉语主宾动语序中的宾语前移
摘要
Based on an investigation of Chinese object shift, this research claims that the strength of a feature can be triggered to be strong. This claim implies that languages differ in default strength of a formal feature, rather than in terms of absolute strong/weak parameters. Empirically, this paper provides a unified analysis of three types of object shift in Mandarin Chinese. They are all triggered in the same way and have the same locality constraints. The paper also describes the syntactic properties of various focus markers. Furthermore, it explores the specificity issue, claiming that the differences in specificity with respect to object raising between Chinese and German are the result of the different interaction patterns between two kinds of economy principles, governing the syntactically motivated movement, and the semantically motivated movement respectively.
