角色参照语法理论研究进展及发展趋势
Research Advances and Development Trends of Role and Reference Grammar
摘要: 角色参照语法(Role and Reference Grammar简称RRG)是在20世纪80年代由罗伯特·范·瓦兰和威廉姆·福利从少数人群语言出发所构建的一种新的结构功能语法。与传统语法不同，角色参照语法涵盖句法、语义、语用三个维度，不仅适用于严格的结构形式描写，而且能够进行有效的语义和语用分析。自提出以来，角色参照语法已受到越来越多学者的关注，在语言学、认知科学以及计算机等领域均具有理论指导意义。本文旨在概括角色参照语法的主要概念、观点，总结近年来学界各领域对于角色参照语法的相关研究和应用，并指出该理论的意义、不足及发展趋势。
Abstract: Role and Reference Grammar (RRG for short) is a new structural-functional grammar constructed by Robert Van Valin and William Foley in the 1980s, starting from the languages of minority groups. Different from traditional grammar, RRG covers three dimensions: syntax, semantics and pragmatics. It is not only applicable to strict description of structural forms but also capable of effective semantic and pragmatic analysis. Since its proposal, RRG has attracted the attention of an increasing number of scholars and holds theoretical guiding significance in the fields of linguistics, cognitive science, computer science, and so on. This paper aims to summarize the main concepts and viewpoints of RRG, review the relevant research and applications of RRG in various fields in recent years, and point out the significance and development trends of this theory.
