从依存的角度看,连词是一种虚谓词,它支配着两个具有-N属性的论元。基于这一认识,不仅传统语法下的各种并列结构得到了统一的依存表示,复句及有关特殊句式也得到了统一的依存表示。并列结构的各种语法形式差异及有关语义问题均可根据依存结构上具体结点的异同及性质差异得到一定解释。对谓词控制更全面的论断是:单命题句中实义谓词是根控制语("中心");多命题句中,连词是根控制语("中心")。
In terms of dependency,conjunction is one type of functional predicates which dominates two arguments of-N property.All the co-ordinate structures in traditional grammar,including phrasal coordination,sentential coordination,and some specific clauses can be represented consistently under this principle.The divergencies of co-ordinate structures and some semantic problems can be explained on the specific nodes of dependency structures.The overall judgment of the "predicate-governor('head')" is stated as follow: the content predicate in the sentence with single proposition is the root-governor("head"),and the conjunction in the sentence with many propositions is the root-governor("head").
