句子功能和句子语气都是语言学中最常用的基本概念,两者都作用于全句,之前的研究通常将两者相混。句子功能是一种非线性句法特征,它作用于全句,通过有限的句法操作手段在句子的三个敏感位置实例化,在表层结构上得到体现。句子功能具有成句性,决定句子的性质。句子语气是说话人主观情感的表现,句法上只能通过语气词表现,语气词可以出现在短语和小句中。证明了句子功能和句子语气是两种不同的句法范畴。
Functional sentence and sentence mood are the basic concepts used most commonly in linguistics.Both work in the whole sentence but previous research frequently confused the two concepts. Sentence function is a kind of nonlinear syntactic feature,which acts on the whole sentence. By means of limited syntactic operation,the three sensitive positions of the sentence can be obtained by the expression of the surface structure.Sentence function has a syntactic function,which determines the nature of the sentence. The tone of the sentence is the expression of the speaker’s subjective feelings,which can only be expressed by mood words. Mood words can appear in phrases and clauses. The paper proves that sentence function and sentence tone are two kinds of syntactic categories.
