本論文主要討論台灣閩南語分裂句與準分裂句。文獻上Akmajian (1970), Gundel (1977) and Collins (1991)提出分裂句是由準分裂句演變而來。基於湯(1981), 李(2005), and 徐(2007)在中文裡對分裂句與準分裂句的討論‚我試著討論閩南語的分裂句與準分裂句的關係。

台灣閩南語分裂句與準分裂句中有三個重要的成分: si, ti 和 e. Si 在分裂句是個強調詞,但在準分裂句與對等準分裂句裡卻是個主題詞;ti 是ㄧ個用來標示有結束性行為動作中過程的詞;而e 在分裂句與準分裂句是個表示未完成時態的詞,在對等準分裂句則是ㄧ個關係子句的詞。

基於同樣的結構,分裂句先演變出來,才有準分裂句的產生; 如果演變的順序顛倒的話,分裂句是不可能產生的。這樣的分析跟Akmajian (1970), Gundel (1977) and Collins (1991)所提的論點是不同的,但卻符合Bachrach (2004) 所提出的分裂句與準分裂句的演變關係。

This thesis studies the cleft and pseudo-cleft constructions in Taiwan Southern Min. In the literature, Akmajian (1970), Gundel (1977) and Collins (1991) argue that cleft constructions are derived from pseudo-cleft constructions. Based on Tang(1981), Lee (2005), and Shyu’s (2007) study of cleft and pseudo-cleft constructions in Mandarin Chinese, I discuss the cleft, pseudo- cleft and equational pseudo-cleft sentences in TSM.
There are three important elements in focus constructions: si, ti and e. Si is a focus marker in cleft constructions, but a topic marker in pseudo-cleft and equational pseudo-cleft constructions; ti is a viewpoint aspect marker to mark the midpoint of the bound event; e is an imperfect marker in cleft and pseudo-cleft constructions, but when si is a topic marker in equational pseudo-cleft constructions, e is a relative clause marker.
I argue that from the same base structure, a cleft construction is derived first and then a pseudo-cleft is derived. If the derivation direction is opposite, it is impossible to derive the cleft sentences. Such an analysis is different from Akmajian (1970), Gundel (1977) and Collins (1991), but accords with Bachrach (2004).
