摘　　要：局域性是生成语法各种句法操作的普遍属性。在不同的理论阶段,所有的句法操作都遵守局域性限制条件,比如合法的长距离移位也必然是通过一系列隐性的、连续的和循环的短距离操作推导而来。在Chomsky(1995,2001)的最简方案框架下,最小连接条件和语段不可渗透性条件从两个方面刻画了句法操作的局域性特征。前者为相对禁止条件,而后者为绝对禁止条件。虽然两种条件在运用时具有某些重叠,但各自有其存在的必要。本文对局域性研究进行综述:首先通过实例说明句法操作的局域性表现;其次考察Chomsky有关局域性的两种解释,认为基于“探针”和“吸引”的分析更加合理;再次探讨句法局域性的动因和性质;最后指出值得进一步研究的遗留问题。Locality is a pervasive property of all types of syntactic dependencies.At various stages of the theoretical development,all syntactic operations are subject to local conditions.For instance,legitimate long-distance movements must be derived through a series of covert,successive,cyclic local operations.Within Chomsky's minimalist framework,the MLC and PIC represent two different approaches for capturing the locality of syntactic operations.The former imposes a relative prohibition,whereas the latter imposes an absolute prohibition.Although there is considerable overlap between MLC and PIC,both conditions are needed.This study provides a critical review of these analyses.First,we provide examples to demonstrate that syntactic operations are local.Next,we examine Chomsky's two approaches to locality,arguing that an account based on"probe"and"attract"is more plausible.We then discuss the motivations and nature of syntactic localities.Finally,we point out issues worthy of further exploration。
