Study On The Single Sentence Syntax In Oracle Bone Inscriptions Of ‘典宾’ Group

The Oracle bone inscription have been discovered for 120 years,which is significant for academic research.From the perspective of linguistics,oracle bone inscription provides the first-hand language materials of the Yinshang Dynasty,and it extends the era of the study of Chinese history for more than 300 years,which is an important complement for the study of Chinese history.At present,the study of the oracle bone inscription has entered the stage of intensive research.Scholars have made hard efforts in the comprehensive(group independent)syntactic study,but there are few achievements in the syntactic study by group.Therefore,it is necessary to make exhaustive arrangement and research on each group of the Oracle Bone Inscription.In this paper,‘典宾’group would be chosen,which having a significant number and covering all aspects of the Yinshang Dynasty,to study the"refined"syntax to make a new and useful exploration of the oracle bone syntax.This paper is divided into the following parts:The first chapter is the introduction,which summarizes the research results of oracle bone inscription.This partillustrates the reason of choosing the topic,explains the quantity and establishment standard of the‘典宾’group,and determines the research scope,which mainly includes of speech tagging,level segmentation,sentence pattern classification,special sentence pattern arrangement,statistical sentence frequency and the interpretation of difficult words,etc.The second chapter is"the syntactic description of‘典宾’group sentences(I)".First,it describes the"subject-predicate sentence"which having the largest number.It has been divided into verb-predicate sentence,adjective-predicate sentence,subject predicate-predicate sentence and noun-predicate sentence.Secondly,the double object sentences in the‘典宾’group has been discussed,which are divided into two parts:non-sacrificial verb double object sentences and sacrificial verb double object sentences.Finally,the paper describes the predicate sentences in the standard object category,which can be divided into two verb predicate sentences,three verb predicate sentences and parallel joint sentence.The third chapter describes the following special sentence patterns.First,it is divided into‘呼’pivotal sentence,‘令’pivotal sentence and‘使/曰’pivotal sentence.Second,the paratactic sentences of the‘典宾’group are divided into two verb paratactic sentences and three verb paratactic sentences.Thirdly,the passive sentences in oracle bone inscription are analyzed and examined.The fourth chapter is discussed the non-subject predicate sentences in the‘典宾’group,which are divided into verb predicate non-subject predicate sentences,adjective predicate non-subject predicate sentences,noun predicate non-subject predicate sentences and interjection predicate non-subject predicate sentences.The fifth chapter is discussed the variant sentences in the object class,which are divided into three parts: the prepositional sentence of ‘叀’object,the prepositional sentence of ‘唯’ object,and the prepositional sentence of object in the negative sentence.
