摘　　要：学界有大量对乾坤挪移句论元结构的分析,对其语义和语用的梳理也相当深入。本文以乾句的模态诠释为切入点,指出其容量义来自一个与"够"相应的隐性模态词ENO,并因此引发动词移位,造成表面词序的变动。文章论证此类中心语移位实属音韵部门的运作,与学界近年来对相关议题的讨论接轨。此外,文中也指出坤句虽欠缺容量义,却与乾句一样藏有其他种类的义务模态词,能迫使主要动词上移。这样的分析不但能揭示乾坤句中论元安排的微妙之处,也能解决其动词配置上的理论难题。In the literature, there are already some very insightful and substantial discussions on the argument structure of flip-flop sentences, as well as the semantics and pragmatics of their capacity interpretations. It is shown that the flip sentence can be paraphrased by spelling out a capacity modal gou ’enough’, and that there is an alternative pattern where the main verb is placed at the end of the sentence. This suggests that the flip construal actually involves verb movement to a silent modal ENO. We also conclude that the verb raising in question applies at PF, contributing to the recent debates on the theoretical status of head movement. As for the flop sentence, it lacks the capacity reading, but still can be analyzed in terms of deontic modal construals, where the verb-to-modal raising is obligatory. In this way we not only spell out the hidden argument structure of flip-flop sentences, but also solve the mystery of their verb placement.
