摘　　要：短语理论框架是Sinclair对其意义单位研究的理论整合,包含三个层面:语境设置、短语项和词项。其中语境设置是对弗斯语境理论的细化和操作化,短语项即此前的搭配框架,词项即围绕搭配所进行的扩展意义单位分析,而该词项分析分别从词语和语法两个方面描写,即局部语法。通过深入分析该理论框架的学术理念及路径和方法,并讨论其在语料库研究中的应用和意义,本文认为局部语法的理论意义在于,其着眼点是解决具体的、语境化的、具有独特个性的语言使用,其描述方式也是专门性、碎片式、个别性的。从理论上讲,可以包含数量众多的局部语法;局部语法越多,对语言使用的描述就越充分。在方法上,局部语法追求自下而上,逐步逼近,不求完美,只求实用。The theoretical framework of phrases, as a theoretical integration of Sinclair's meaning unit analysis, consists of three strata, namely contextual settings, phraseological items and lexical items. Contextual settings are but specifications and operationalization of the Firthian theory of context, whereas the phraseological items renames the former collocational frameworks, and the lexical items originates from Sinclair's extended unit of meaning analysis centering on collocations, which in turn are approached in terms of lexis and grammar. With a close examination of the framework in the light of its underlying ideas, approach and method, and an extended discussion on its application and implications in corpus research, this paper concludes that local grammars have their great theoretical values in their orientation to the specific, contextualized and distinctive language use, characterized by their local, fragmentary and individualized description. In theory, a great number of local grammars can be formed, and the more local grammars there are, the more adequate the description of language use will be. And in methodology, local grammars adopt a bottom-up route with an increasing precision, pursuing practicality rather than perfectionism.
