S-Structure

S-结构

A term used in government-binding theory to refer to an alternative conception of surface or shallow structure, which has been enriched by the inclusion of empty elements relating to a sentence’s deep structure (or D-Structure). S-Structure is what is produced after transformations and case rules, but before deletion rules and filters; it is the input to the rules of semantic interpretation. It contrasts with surface structure, which follows deletion and filtering, and which is the input to the phonological component.

管辖与约束理论术语，用作表层或浅层结构的可替换概念；因包含与句子深层结构（或D-结构）相关的空成分而变得内容较丰富。S-结构是在应用转换和格规则之后，但又在应用删除规则和过滤条件之前产生的结构；它是语义解释规则的输入。它与表层结构的区别在于后者产生在删除和过滤之后，并且是音系部分的输入。
