摘要: 语法问题说到底是语义问题,语义对语法的制约不仅体现在词语、特殊句法结构中,还体现在语篇组织甚或语篇透露的“文化背景”上;不仅现代汉语语法受制于语义,古代汉语语法亦然。丰富的具体实例剖析展示了语义影响制约语法的丰富与复杂性,这也造成“似乎至今没有人深入探究过语义和语法的关系”的窘境。然而,认识“语义制约语法”很重要,这就要求研究者在考察、描写或解释某个语法现象时自觉地追究语义是如何制约语法的。

Abstract: Grammar problems are ultimately semantic problems,and the constraints of semantics on grammar are not only reflected in words and special syntactic structures,but also in discourse organization or even the “cultural background” of discourse description.Not only is modern Chinese grammar constrained by semantics,but ancient Chinese grammar is also limited by semantics.The rich analysis of specific examples demonstrates the richness and complexity of semantic influence in constraining grammar,which also leads to the dilemma that “it seems that no one has delved deeply into the relationship between semantics and grammar so far”.However,understanding “semantics constrains grammar” is important,which requires researchers to consciously investigate how semantics constrains grammar when examining,describing,or explaining a certain grammatical phenomenon.

Key words: grammar studies, grammar, semantics, constraints of semantics on grammar
