由beat365語言、心理與認知學科群舉辦的語言學講座于2018年3月22日（周四）在文南樓116室順利舉行，主講人為法蘭西大學學院青年院士、巴黎第七大學副教授潘俊楠。潘教授以“漢語左緣結構中的根句現象”為題，為beat365師生帶來了一場精彩講座。
與句子的核心結構相似，左緣結構中的各功能投射也具有層級性。漢語中既有句子左側的焦點，又有句子右側的句末語助詞，潘教授在講座中提出的理論将二者有效地統一于一個層級性的系統結構中，以大量漢語語料為證據，通過比較各功能投射的語義域大小，得出了漢語左緣結構中各功能投射在樹形圖上的層級位置。而這一層級排序也得到了嵌套性檢驗的支持。在漢語中，隻有S.AspP等層級較低的功能投射可以進行語義和句法的嵌套，這種嵌套性随着層級位置的升高而降低，AttP等位置較高的功能投射無法進行嵌套。潘教授将這一現象解釋為主觀性區間限制，即左緣結構中功能投射的層級越高，其内容的主觀性越強，語義與語篇的關聯性使得其更難進行嵌套。
講座吸引了校内外近50名聽衆。在講座後的問答環節，潘教授就表疑問的“沒有”和“沒”的區别、漢語中右置現象與左緣結構層級的關系等問題與在場的老師和同學們進行了充分的交流，反響熱烈。
潘俊楠教授簡介：
Professor Victor Junnan Pan is a Junior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France (法蘭西大學學院青年院士), an Associate Professor with tenure in theoretical linguistics at the University Paris 7, habilitated for PhD students supervision, and a research staff member affiliated in Laboratoire de Linguisitique Formelle. He also served as an executive committee member of the International Association of Chinese Linguistics (IACL) and of the European Association of Chinese Linguistics (EACL). Specializing in Generative Syntax, Prof. Pan’s research covers Chinese syntax, French syntax, syntax-semantic-discourse interfaces, etc. and the topics he investigated include interrogatives (wh-in-situ, wh-ex-situ), quantification in formal linguistics, information structure (topicalization, focalization), left-periphery, cartography, resumptivity and different types of A'-dependency. Prof. Pan has published journal articles, book chapters and five research monographs both in French and in English. His recent book Resumptivity in Mandarin Chinese: A Minimalist Account (Mouton De Gruyter, 2016) not only gives a thorough description of the distribution of resumptive dependencies in different contexts from a comparative perspective but also offers a theoretical account in the framework of the Minimalist Program, which improves the general understanding of resumptivity crosslinguistically. His forthcoming book The Architecture of Periphery in Chinese: Cartography and Minimalism (Routledge, 2018) provides a new perspective on the study of peripheral functional projections in Chinese.
