摘　　要：主句动词决定其补语类型是控制动词选择不定式句作补语的主要语言学动因,而英语控制动词后的首位名词是否可为空语类是判定其属于主语控制还是宾语控制的形式线索。在对比分析两类控制结构的基础上,本文参照相关的中介语习得理论对补语类型、主语生命性和语言水平影响英语控制结构的中介语情形予以分析研究。本文基于语法发展的成熟性理论认为,成人二语者只有接触到足量的目标语输入并接受专设的语法辨析后才可能为英语控制结构中的空语类建立起接近目标语的语法表语征,因而可在一定程度上证伪浅结构假设。Sub-categorization by verbs in root clauses for the types of complement clauses is the major linguistic motivation for English control verbs to select to-infinitives as their complements.By way of contrastive analysis of the initial nouns in two types of control clauses,the present research,with reference to relevant SLA theories,empirically investigates the effects of complement types,subject animacy and L2 proficiency upon the L2 acquisition of English control clauses by Chinese learners of English.On the basis of maturation process involved in the language acquisition,the article argues that adult L2 learners are likely to establish near-native grammatical representation for English control clauses only when they are provided with sufficient L2 input and detailed grammatical instruction,thus to a certain extent falsifying the claims by Shallow Structure Hypothesis.
