摘要
在"只有……才"焦点句中,焦点成分的句法结构位置在CP内。"只有"是焦点辖域标记,"才"是焦点短语的中心语,焦点成分具有对比性焦点特征。主语焦点和句首宾语焦点是具有对比性焦点特征的话题成分,在句法生成过程中在[spec, FocP]位置上核查完不可解释性焦点特征之后继续移位至[spec, TopP]位置核查不可解释性话题特征。CP内分析法还能为省略"只有"的"才"字焦点句提供合理的句法解释。
In zhiyou…cai focus constructions, the focus is located in CP, zhiyou is the focus scope marker and cai is the head of the Focus Phrase. The focus bears contrastive focus feature, the subject focus and initial object focus bear contrastive focus feature and topic feature simultaneously. Thus in the derivation process, the subject focus and sentence initial object focus move to [Spec, TopP] to check their uninterpretable topic feature after they finish checking the uninterpretable focus feature in [Spec, FocP]. It is argued that this CP analysis can also account for the cai construction in which zhiyou is omitted.

(1)本文用F表示该成分为焦点成分(focus)。
(2)根据Tancredi(1990)[10]的词汇关联原则(Principle of Lexical Association),焦点敏感算子如only必须与其成分统制范围内的词汇成分相关联(An operator like only must be associated with a lexical constituent in its c-command domain)。
(3)(20a)和(20b)中的“才”可以表示时间,意为“刚才”,但其并不在本文的探讨范围之内。
