摘　　要：近年来,功能和认知语言学研究表明状语从句的定位是由句法分析、语篇语用学和语义学相竞作用来确定的。象似性原则对时间状语从句的定位产生影响。象似性原则预示主句和从句的线性排序反映它们所描述事件的顺序排序。虽然时间从句一般位于主句之后,但从句顺序与象似性之间有明显的相关性:表示先前事件的时间状语从句位于主句之前的现象往往比位于主句之后常见。此外,还有其他因素会影响时间状语从句的定位,如长度、复杂性和语用引入等。The recent study in functional and cognitive linguistics has indicated that the positioning of adverbial clauses is motivated by competing pressures from syntactic parsing,discourse pragmatics,and semantics.The iconicity principle has an effect on the positioning of temporal adverbial clauses. The iconicity principle predicts that the linear ordering of main and subordinate clauses mirrors the sequential ordering of the events they describe. Although temporal clauses exhibit a general tendency to follow the main clause,there is a clear correlation between clause order and iconicity： temporal clauses denoting a prior event precede the main clause more often than temporal clauses of posteriority. In addition,there are other factors such as length,complexity,and pragmatic import that may affect the positioning of temporal adverbial clauses.
