Generalized Case Theory and the Argument-Omission Structure in Mandarin Chinese

摘要：

　　Argument-omission structures in Mandarin Chinese,including omitting the subject,object and the head of de phrase,can be fully explained by Xu Jies theory of Generalized Case Theory.Case assigner can be divided into two types: obligatory and optional,among which the nominative Case assigner in English is obligatory,while in Chinese,it is optional.Similarly,the accusative and genitive Case assigner in Mandarin Chinese is also optional.These facts directly lead to the argument-omission structures in Mandarin Chinese.The linguistic principles are surprisingly simple behind the unordered and rich linguistic phenomena,and the only difference among different languages is the values of the parameter in the language faculty.
