摘要: 从目前文献看,形式标记的功能解释与系统功能语言学的“意义承诺”、“功能承诺”相去甚远。本文基于B. L. Whorf(1956)的隐性范畴思想与M. A. K. Halliday(2014)的渐变群思想,以形式标记代用代词it的纯理功能为例,探讨如何消解形式标记功能解释上的自相矛盾。研究发现,在隐性范畴视角下,代用代词it的纯理功能得到统一解释,从而有力地证明系统功能语言学有关“形式获得功能解释”的理论假设。

Abstract: Literature shows that the explanations of metafunctions for formal markers are at odds with semiotic and functional commitment in systemic functional linguistics. This paper, based on the covert categories or the cryptotypes proposed by B. L. Whorf (1956) and the clines by M. A. K. Halliday (2014), takes the crypto-functional exploration of formal marker prop it as a case study. The purpose is to eliminate the contradictory explanations in metafunctions of formal markers through the cryptotypes. In light of the cryptotypes, the metafunctions of prop it can reach unified accountability and the theoretical hypothesis that “language forms should be accounted for by their functions” has been well verified.
