第四章 句子的扩充


第十九课 Yes/No疑问句:EMPH-Q-S/Q-S/INF-Q-S

 19-1 [强调疑问句(EMPH-Q-S)] 
 一个核心句可以通过一个新的语法含义{Emphatic Question强调疑问句}扩充成另一个句子,在本书中被称为一个强调疑问句,即 emphatic questionEMPH-Q-S
      (1)a.  John is a vegetarian. 约翰是个素食主义者。
         b.  IS John a vegetarian? 约翰真是个素食主义者吗? 
      (2)a.  John likes onions. 约翰喜欢洋葱。
         b.  DOES John like onions? 约翰真喜欢洋葱吗?
 强调疑问句(1b)和(2b)分别从核心句(1a)和(2a)生成出来。因此,
      (3)  {Emphatic Question} + Kernel Sentence(K-S)
                    Emphatic Question(EMPH-Q-S)
 如果我们把这个S EPD {Emphatic Question}称作EMPH-Q,那么(1b)和(2b)的生成过程应如下所示。
      (4)    EMPH-Q + K-S(John is a vegetarian.)         [-DO Type型]
                    EMPH-Q-S(IS John a vegetarian?)
      (5)    EMPH-Q + K-S(John likes onions)            [+DO Type型]
                    EMPH-Q-S(DOES John like onions?)
 19-2 [树形图] 
 (1b)和(2b)的树形图:
   (i) -DO Type型
      (6)        (IS John a vegetarian?)
                      EMPH-Q-S
                      /     \
                EPD[EMPH-Q]   K-S
                            (John is a vegetarian)

  (ii) +DO Type型
      (7)        (DOES John like onions?)
                      EMPH-Q-S
                      /     \
                EPD[EMPH-Q]   K-S
                            (John likes onions)
 19-3 [EMPH-Q的操作] 
 扩充子EMPH-Q包含以下三个步骤。
    <EMPH-Q>
      步骤一:在核心句(K-S)上添加EMPH。
              (Operator Specification扩充子的特定)
      步骤二:把操作子移动到前面。(Q倒置,即Q inversion倒置)
      步骤三:发音时有升/降音调;书写时有标点"?"。
 (1b)和(2b)生成如下。
      (8)  EMPH-Q +  [John is a vegetarian]     [-DO Type型]
                           ↓Step 1
                     [John IS a vegetarian]
                           ↓Step 2
                     [IS John a vegetarian]
                           ↓Step 3
                     [IS John a vegetarian?]

      (9)  EMPH-Q +  [John likes onions]        [+DO Type型]
                           ↓Step 1
                     [John DOES like onions]
                           ↓Step 2
                     [DOES John like onions]
                           ↓Step 3
                     [DOES John like onions?]
 其它例子:
   (i) -DO Type型
     (10)  IS everything going well? 一切确实发展顺利吗?
     (11)  CAN I count on your help? 我真的可以指望你的帮助吗?
     (12)  HAVE you ever been abroad? 你曾经出过国吗?
  (ii) +DO Type型
     (13)  DO you feel well now? 你现在感觉好吗?
     (14)  DOES she often skip breakfast? 她真的经常不吃早饭吗?
     (15)  DID he repair his car by himself? 他确实自己修好的汽车吗?
 19-4 [简单疑问句(Q-S)] 
 就像强调否定句(EMPH-NEG-S)有它自己的非强调句(NEG-S)一样, 强调疑问句(EMPH-Q-S)也有自己的非强调句,我们称它为一个简单疑问句,即simple questionQ-S
      (16)a.  IS John a vegetarian?          =(1b)     [-DO Type型]
          b.  Is John a vegetarian? 她是素食主义者吗?
      (17)a.  DOES John like onions?         =(2b)     [+DO Type型]
          b.  Does John like onions? 约翰喜欢洋葱吗?
 通过S EPD{Simple Question}Q,核心句(K-S)转变成简单疑问句(Q-S)。(16b)和 (17b)的树形图:
      (18)      (Is John a vegetarian?)
                     Q-S
                  /     \
              EPD[Q]      K-S
                      (John is a vegetarian)

      (19)      (Does John like onions?)
                      Q-S
                   /     \
               EPD[Q]      K-S
                      (John likes onions)
 19-5 [Q的操作] 
 Q的操作
   <Q>
      步骤一:添加EMPH-Q 到核心句(K-S)上。
      步骤二:去除操作子重音。
 让我看一看一个核心句(K-S)如何转变成强调疑问句(EMPH-Q-S),并且如何转变成简单疑问句(Q-S)。
   (i) -DO Type型
     (20)  Q  +  [John is a vegetarian]
                       ↓ Step 1
                 [IS John a vegetarian?] (EMPH-Q-S)
                       ↓ Step 2
                 [Is John a vegetarian?] (Q-S)

  (ii) -DO Type型
     (21)   Q  +  [John likes onions] 
                        ↓ Step 1
                  [DOES John like onions?] (EMPH-Q-S)
                        ↓ Step 2
                  [Does John like onions?] (Q-S)
 其它例句:
   (i) -DO Type型
      (22)  Is everything going well? 一切进展好吗?
      (23)  Can I count on your help? 我能指望你的帮助吗?
      (24)  Have you ever been abroad? 你曾经出过国吗?
  (ii) +DO Type型
      (25)  Do you feel well now? 你现在感觉好吗?
      (26)  Does she often skip breakfast? 她经常不吃早饭吗?
      (27)  Did he repair his car by himself? 他自己修好的汽车吗?
 19-6 [(EMPH-)Q的作用域:全句否定 与 单词/短语否定] 
 到目前,我们已经学习了EMPH-Q和Q的扩充子;他们扩展句子(S)。换句话说,这些元素的作用域是句子。
 一些EMPH-Q/Q的扩充子不扩充整个句子,而是它的一部分。
       (28)  Did John vote for SUSAN (not DEBBIE)?
             约翰投票赞成苏珊(而不是黛比)了吗?
       (29)  Did JOHN (not JOE) vote for Susan?
             约翰(而不是乔)投票赞成苏珊了吗?
       (30)  Did John vote FOR (not AGAINST) Susan?
             约翰投票赞成(而不是反对)苏珊了吗?
 19-7 [否定疑问句(NEG-Q-S)] 
 核心句(K-S)可以通过NEG和Q被扩充。
      (31)  Isn't John a vegetarian? 约翰不是素食主义者吗?
      (32)  Doesn't John like onions? 约翰不喜欢洋葱吗?
 这些否定疑问句,即negative questions(NEG-Q-S) 生成如下。
      (33)  Q  + NEG +  [John is a vegetarian]          [-DO Type型]
                      ↓
            Q  +  [John isn't a vegetarian]
                      ↓
                  [Isn't John a vegetarian?]

      (34)  Q  + NEG +  [John likes onions]             [+DO Type型]
                      ↓
            Q  +  [John doesn't like onions]
                      ↓
                  [Doesn't John like onions?]
 其它例句:
    (i) -DO Type型
       (35)  Isn't this upside down? 这不是颠倒了吗?
       (36)  Aren't you coming to the party? 你不来聚会吗?
       (37)  Can't she play the piano? 她不会弹钢琴吗?

   (ii) +DO Type型
       (38)  Don't you know Mary the Cookies?
             你不知道玛丽的绰号是“甜饼厨师”吗?
       (39)  Doesn't she wear a miniskirt?
             她没穿迷你裙吗?
       (40)  Didn't it rain last night?
             昨夜没下雨吗?
 19-8 [非正式疑问句(INF-Q-S)] 
 在比较随便的语境下,我们可以使用非正式疑问句,即informal question(INF-Q-S)
      (41)  John is a vegetarian? 约翰是个素食主义者?
      (42)  John likes onions? 约翰喜欢洋葱?
 使核心句(K-S)扩充成非正式疑问句(INF-Q-S)的是S EPD {Informal Question} 或者 INF-Q,因而,
      (43) INF-Q  +  [John is a vegetarian]                [-DO Type型]
                      John is a vegetarian?
      (44) INF-Q  +  [John likes onions]                  [+DO Type型]
                      John likes onions?
 树形图:
      (45) (John is a vegetarian?)    (46) (John likes onions?)
                 INF-Q-S                         INF-Q-S
                /     \                       /     \
          EPD[INF-Q]   K-S                 EPD[INF-Q]   K-S
                    (John is a vegetarian)           (John likes onions)
 扩充子{Informal Question}(INF-Q)可以扩充简单否定疑问句(NEG-Q)。
      (47)  INF-Q  +  [John isn't a vegetarian]
                   John isn't a vegetarian?
      (48)  INF-Q  +  [John doesn't like onions] 
                   John doesn't like onions?
 (47)和(48)的树形图分别如下。
      (49) (John isn't a vegetarian?)
                INF-Q-NEG-S
                  /     \
          EPD[INF-Q]    NEG-S
                      /     \
                EPD[NEG]     K-S
                  (n't)   (John is a vegetarian)

      (50) (John doesn't like onions?)
                INF-Q-NEG-S
                  /     \
          EPD[INF-Q]    NEG-S
                      /     \
                EPD[NEG]     K-S
                  (n't)   (John likes onions)
 就像你想象的一样,强调句(EMPH-S)或强调否定句(EMPH-NEG-S)可以通过这个INF-Q被扩充。
      (51)  INF-Q +  [John IS a vegetarian]
                   John IS a vegetarian?
      (52)  INF-Q +  [John DOES like onions]
                   John DOES like onions?
      (53)  INF-Q +  [John ISN'T a vegetarian]
                   John ISN'T a vegetarian?
      (54)  INF-Q +  [John DOESN'T like onions]
                   John DOESN'T like onions?
 因而,INF-Q仅有一个步骤。
   <INF-Q>
     步骤一:发音时音调上扬,书写时标出标点符号“?”。
