论汉语介词句否定式的无标记否定焦点

On Unmarked Negative Focus of Negative Prepositional Constructions in Mandarin Chinese

The negative prepositional constructions include two forms of S + Neg + PP + VP and S + PP + Neg+ VP. If the prepositional object is obligatory argument in S + Neg + PP + VP, the unmarked negative focus of the construction is VP. If the prepositional object is optional argument in S + Neg + PP + VP, the unmarked negative focus of the construction is PP. The unmarked negative focus is VP in S + PP + Neg + VP, following the adjacency principle.

汉语介词句否定式有NP + Neg + PP + VP和NP + PP + Neg+ VP两种形式。在NP + Neg + PP + VP句式中，如果介词宾语是必有论元，那么此句式的无标记否定焦点就是VP，如果介词宾语是可有论元，那么此句式的无标记否定焦点就是PP。在NP + PP + Neg + VP句式中，无标记否定焦点遵循毗邻原则，无标记否定焦点是VP。
