摘　　要：在转换生成语法理论框架内,通过对比分析先前学者对英语小句的研究,重新界定了小句,即含有主谓项关系,缺乏时态特征([-T]),具有[NP VP]逻辑结构,并能独立运作的句法成分是小句,将其定位为一个符合语言基本结构的未经INFL调变的Non IP,由此把小句与句子区分开来。进而依据人类语言的基本模板分析了小句的句法结构、特征、分类及分布等相关问题,以期为解释英语小句的句法结构提供了一个相对可行的解决方案。Based on the transformational grammar theories and the logical frame of human language, this paper redefines the small clause by comparison with the previous studies. The discussion proposes that small clause includes an argument-predicate relationship between its NP and the rest part of it, sharing a universal and basic logical frame of human language, i.e. [NP VP], which is lack of tense feature(-T) and modulated by inflection(INFL). Furthermore, the syntactic features and classification of the small clause are also discussed so as to simplify and explain syntactical theories of the small clause effectively.
