摘　　要：本文基于制图理论对汉语中话题与焦点在屈折内域和左缘结构的分布进行了重新考察,确定了这两个地域中话题和焦点的句法分布:左缘结构上可以有多个话题和焦点,不同类型的话题和焦点分别占据不同的句法位置;屈折内域只有一个话题位置,而且话题要高于焦点。本文进一步指出,汉语中话题和焦点在这两个句法地域的分布并非完全一致:左缘结构中能出现的话题种类较屈折内域更为丰富;左缘结构上有多个话题位置,但屈折内域只有一个话题位置。This paper investigates the distribution of Topics and Foci in the low IP area and the left periphery in Mandarin along the lines of the Cartographic Approach.Our investigation reveals that the CP domain can host a wide range of Topics and Foci,each of which occupies a dedicated syntactic position.In contrast,the low IP area can only host a single Topic position,which is located above the Foci.Comparing the distribution of Topics and Foci in the two domains further shows that they are not completely parallel to each other.More specifically,the CP domain is 'richer' than the low IP area insofar as the inventory of Topics is concerned.Furthermore,the CP domain has a number of Topic positions but the low IP area has only one.
