摘　　要：功能语言学的研究认为插入语是一种语法化的"固定"结构或"搭配",不具有句法意义。生成语法的研究表明插入语的产生是一种纯句法的过程,同时指出,对插入语的句法分析应能够解释:(1)插入语和饰句之间的关系;(2)插入语位置分布上的灵活性及(3)插入语的"语义贫困"现象。关于英语插入语的句法研究可以为汉语相关问题的解决提供新的视角。A striking property of parentheticals lies in the fact that they express a large range of evidential meanings.Generative investigations reveal that parentheticals are the result of a purely syntactic process.A properly syntactic analysis of parentheticals should be capable of the explanation of the nature of relation between the parenthetical and the sentential,the rather free placement of parentheticals in sentential and the semantic poverty of parentheticals.Based on the overview above,the author suggests that the Chinese equivalent issues can also be handled with a generative approach.
