小句关系理论及其应用

小句关系理论虽调小句之间的逻辑语义关系，主线语篇是一个关系系统而非实体，与小句的传统语法定义不同，这里的小句作为一个语义块跟句组，段落甚至语篇是等价的。该理论提出了揭示小句关系的有效手段，词汇Ⅰ、Ⅱ词汇 、词汇Ⅲ 和设问等，“半虚义词”和元结构项止具有预示的衔接功能。该理论可以用来分析语篇，揭示语篇模式。

Theory of Clause Relation and Its Application

The theory of clause relation is concerned with logic and semantic meaning between clauses and holds that a discourse is a network of relations. Different from the traditional definition of clause, the theory looks on clause as a significant semantic unit. As a semantic information chunk, a clause equates a sentence group,a paragraph and even a discourse. The theory finds and classifies the so-called Three Vocabulary as signalling of clause relations. The theory can be applied to analyse discourses, revealing text patterns.
