98-17364Dubinsky & DaviesABSTRACTA workshop titled "The Role of Grammatical Functions in Transformational Syntax" will be held during the 1999 Linguistic Institute at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. The workshop will explore the place of grammatical functions (GFs) in transformational theories of syntax, which since Noam Chomsky's 1965 book Aspects of the Theory of Syntax have held that GFs such as subject and object are not primitives of the theory, but are defined in terms of the hierarchical configurations of phrase structure representations. Recent instantiations of these theories, such as Principles and Parameters and the Minimalist Program, have undergone revisions which incorporate principles utilizing GFs in a way that appears to admit their roles as primitives. These innovations raise the fundamental question of whether or not GFs can indeed be configurational, i.e. defined on phrase structure representations.The workshop will bring together the work of leading researchers relating to these issues, including: * - the ways in which GFs have been incorporated into current transformational theories; * - whether unitary configurationally defined GFs can be identified in current transformational syntax; * - if configurational definitions of GFs have been reduced to axioms of the theory, the degree to which these structural representations of GFs yield significant insights; * - the inventory of GFs that must be recognized in the theory; * - and whether all languages instantiate all projections involved in defining GFs.

98-17364Dubinsky & DaviesABSTRACTA 研讨会题为“语法功能在转换句法中的作用”，将于 1999 年伊利诺伊大学香槟分校语言学院期间举行。 研讨会将探讨语法功能 (GF) 在句法转换理论中的地位，自诺姆·乔姆斯基 (Noam Chomsky) 1965 年出版的《句法理论的各个方面》一书以来，语法功能 (GF) 一直认为诸如主语和宾语之类的 GF 不是理论的基元，而是在短语结构表示的层次结构术语。 这些理论的最新实例，例如原理和参数以及极简程序，已经进行了修订，其中纳入了利用 GF 的原则，似乎承认它们作为原语的角色。 这些创新提出了一个基本问题：GF 是否确实可以配置，即根据短语结构表示进行定义。研讨会将汇集与这些问题相关的领先研究人员的工作，包括： * - GF 的合并方式融入当前的转型理论； * - 是否可以在当前转换语法中识别单一配置定义的 GF； * - 如果 GF 的构型定义已简化为理论公理，则 GF 的这些结构表示产生重要见解的程度； * - 理论上必须承认的GF清单； * - 以及是否所有语言都实例化定义 GF 所涉及的所有投影。
