汉语无形态论

长期以来对汉语“形态”的研究形成了三种观点:(1)汉语没有形态;(2)汉语缺乏形态;(3)汉语具有广义的形态。语言事实说明:汉语没有形态,汉语语法意义的表达是通过其语法形式来表达的,这是由语言的民族性所决定的。印欧语和汉语在语法意义的表达上有本质上的差异,印欧语的语法意义是通过形态变化表现出来的,而汉语的语法意义是通过其语法形式如语序、虚词、助词、语音、实词、组合与变换、重叠、语境等来表达的。坚持汉语没有形态的观点,有利于从汉语本身的语言事实来研究汉语,从而真正搞清楚汉语的语法系统。

On the Motivation of Non - Inflection of Chinese

Three kinds of views are formed in the long-term study of Chinese inflection:(1)There is no inflection in Chinese.(2)Chinese is deficient in strict inflections.(3)There are non-strict inflections in Chinese.This paper proves that there is no inflection in Chinese by seven motivations,because language inflection will be decided by language nationality.There is an essential distinction in the conveying of grammatical meanings between Indo-European languages and Chinese language.The grammatical meanings in Indo-European languages are expressed by inflections while the grammatical meanings in Chinese are expressed with its grammatical forms such as word order,functional words,auxiliary words,phonetics,notional words,composition and conversion,duplication of words,context and so on.To keep the view of non-inflection in Chinese will facilitate the study of Chinese with its own language facts,so as to make clear what the Chinese grammatical system is in a genuine sense.
