摘　　要：滞留介词后存在两种类型的空语类:DP语迹和变项,正是因为这些空语类的存在才使介词滞留。介词总是不单独出现在句子中,其后的补足语不是名词短语、量词短语、名词性的Wh-短语、名词性的非限定性分句等这些显性成分,就是DP-语迹或者变项等隐性成分。介词后带隐性成分时,介词就成了滞留介词,滞留介词后的空语类受滞留介词的题元管辖。By exploring the motivation for stranded preposition, this paper discovers that there are two types of empty categories behind stranded prepositions, namely, DP-trace and variable. It is right due to these empty categories that prepositions are stranded. Through the statement, we draw such a conclusion as prepositions never appear alone in the sentence; its complement may be such overt categories like noun phrases, quantifier phrases, nominal Wh-phrases or nominal indefinite clauses, or covert categories like DP-traces or variables. A preposition is stranded when its complement is a covert category. Stranded prepositions θ-govern the empty categories behind them.
