摘　　要：在传统文献里,"重型名词短语移位"被认为是相关的重成分发生了右向移位。也有研究者认为并不是重成分发生了右移,而是其它成分发生了左移。本研究从Chomsky(2005a,2005b,2006)近期所强调的生物语言学的视角出发,讨论了双及物结构中的重型名词短语移位及相关句式的推导,证明了所谓的"重型名词短语移位"并不存在,相关成分并没有发生右移或左移,重成分一开始就基础生成在句末的位置,认为这是由生物学因素及运算效率所决定的。本研究进一步证明,除语义信息外,语类信息在决定VP内各成分合并顺序方面发挥关键作用。The traditional assumption about heavy NP shift is that there is a rightward movement operation which moves any heavy NP to the right edge of the VP. However, the prohibition against rightward movement （Kayne, 1994） makes this kind of rightward movement impossible in syntax. The present paper proposes that heavy NP is base generated in the present position and undergoes no movement according to a rule which prescribes that the merge of long and complex constituents precedes the short and simple ones. Based on the latest minimalist assumptions, this paper discusses the derivation of English dative construction containing heavy NP, and explains why heavy NP shift does not occur in the double object construction. This study shows that besides thematic information, categorial information plays a key role in determining the order of merge within VP.
