本論文主張漢語的被字句沒有移位, 與英語不同. 據語料顯示, 被字句既
無被動語素, 也無論旨角色或抽像格位的吸收. 在無移位的分析法中,被
是帶有影成分的主要語; 在被詞組衍生的表面主語與動詞的域內論元,小
代號, 存有論旨關係. 小代號必須滿足許可與確認的條件. 本分析法可解
釋名詞組或疑問詞移位分析法所無法解釋的長距離被動.

This thesis argues that no movement is involved in the so-
called Chinese passive construction, the bei-construction, in
contrast to English passives. Based on the evidence showing
that the bei-construction exhibits neither the passive morpheme
nor theta role absorption or Case absorption, a non-movement
analysis is proposed, in which bei heads its own projection,
BeiP, and assigns the [affected] feature to the NP in its Spec
position of BeiP. The surface subject, base-generated in
[Spec, BeiP] with the [affected] feature assigned, forms a
thematic chain with the pro occupying the internal argument
position of the verb. The pro must satisfy both the licensing
and identification conditions. In particular, the proposal
gives a straightforward account for cases involving long-
distance passivization, which cannot be accommodated under an
NP-movement account nor a wh-movement account of the bei-
construction.
