摘要

本文试图运用语言类型学中VO与OV语序中15条相关参项关联性理论（Dryer，1992，2008；Haspelmath，2005），并结合前人相关研究，证明SVO语序在新加坡华语语法变异过程中占优势。同时，本文将根据Heine和Kuteva（2005）有关语言接触中语法复制的“择一”理论，从历史地理角度阐明新加坡华语VO倾向是因为继承了中国南方方言的基本语序，以及受周边英语、马来语SVO语序的影响所致。

This study attempts to prove that the SVO order has gained a dominant position in the grammatical evolution in Singapore Chinese language. The theory of the 15 internal relations in the VO-OV order (Dryer, 1992, 2008; Haspelmath, 2005) in linguistic typology as well as other related studies are applied. Taking a historical and geographical point of view, the study also adopts Heine and Kuteva's (2005) narrowing theory in grammatical replication in language contact. It illustrates that the inclination to use the SVO order in Singapore Chinese language is mainly due to an inheritance of language order from the Southern Chinese dialects and the influence exerted by the SVO order in English and Malay language.
