摘　　要：英语并列结构Gapping现象可以进行多种角度分析。Chomsky认为Gapping现象的动词脱落是复制和脱落的一般性选择,Yatabe认为Gapping现象是成分的省略。这些研究都没能完全解释Gapping现象。笔者试图通过HPSG理论描写Gapping现象的特征结构,探讨动词脱落的条件,阐释动词脱落的机制。结果发现:英语并列结构中,只要意义相同,即使语音形式不同,动词即可脱落;不同的语言,动词脱落条件各不相同;HPSG能够为分析Gapping现象提供更为简洁的理论框架。Gapping in English coordinate structure can be analyzed from various perspectives. Chomsky argues that the verbal deletion in Gapping is the generalized process of copy and deletion. Yatabe and Crysmann propose that Gapping is the constituent ellipsis,none of which can explain all phenomena related to Gapping in the coordination. Therefore,this paper aims to investigate the conditions of verbal deletion based on HPSG. The results show that the verb can be deleted if the meaning is the same without definitely identical form; the conditions of verbal deletion are different in different language; HPSG-based Gapping analysis can provide a simpler theoretical framework for gapping interpretation.
