摘　　要：英语关系从句的挂靠偏向会随其挂靠位置与挂靠类型的不同而有显著性差异.在依存语法的理论框架下,建立了四个依存句法树库,采用平均依存距离(MDD)作为量度指标,对英语关系从句不同挂靠位置及挂靠类型所产生的处理难度进行了计量分析.研究发现:1)主句主语与宾语位置上的英语关系从句高挂靠均比低挂靠难处理;2)主语位置上的英语关系从句低挂靠比宾语位置上的难处理;3)主语位置上的英语关系从句高挂靠比宾语位置上的难处理.Attachment preference of English relative clauses will vary significantly with the change of the location and the type.Four dependency treebanks have been built within the theoretical framework of dependency grammar.Mean dependency distance(MDD)has been measured to analyze the processing difficulty caused by the differences of attachment of English relative clauses quantitatively.It is found that:1)the high attachments of English relative clauses in subject and object positions are harder to process than the theirlow attachments;2)the low attachment of English relative clause in subject position is harder to process than the one in object position;and 3)the high attachment of English relative clause in subject position is harder to process than the one in object position.
