摘　　要：因受理论局限性的制约,管约论不能为控制语的语义解释以及控制结构中的格位指派机制提出统一的分析框架,而最简句法理论试图摆脱管辖关系和标示语—中心语结构图示的桎梏并把一致操作视为建立句法依存关系的核心。基于探针—目标一致关系理论的句法操作模式,英语控制结构中的空格指派完全可以和限定性结构中的主格指派、及物性结构中的宾格指派共享同一套生成机制。先基于用法实例对英语控制结构中隐性标句词for和零性标句词Φ等的句法特点加以归纳总结,然后基于限定性一致关系、及物性一致关系和空一致关系提出了更为统一的格位赋值模式。Theoretical limitations inherently with government and binding theory render it unable to adequately account for the semantics and case-assignment mechanism in English control structures, whereas minimalist Syntax attempts to break the constraints imposed by government relationship and spec-head configuration, and establish the AGREE operation as the core operation for syntactic dependency. Within the probe-goal agreement framwork, the null case assignment in control structures may well be analyzed on a par with and along the same minimalist line with subject case in finiteness structures and object case in transitive structures. By way of reviewing relevant data concerning the unpronounced complementizer for and null complementizer O, the present article proposes that finite, transitive and control structures are in effect sharing the same case-valuation mechanism.
