本书在生成语法框架内对英汉非宾格性结构表达进行对比研究。本书对非宾格性句法配置的研究，不是单纯在词库中对动词的词性进行非宾格性界定，而是在句法配置上对动词的非宾格性进行判别，对其句法结构表征进行生成解释。这不仅深化了汉语动词的及物性范畴，而且也拓宽了对汉语句法结构的研究视野，使汉语研究更好地与西方语言研究接轨。

本书在生成语法框架内对英汉非宾格性结构表达进行对比研究。在经典范畴之下，现代汉语对动词只进行及物性与不及物性两分，而本书认为汉语应该与英语一样，有必要对动词再作进一步的划分，把其中的不及物动词再分为非宾格性和非作格性两个次类。这样就可以对汉语中大量的不及物动词带宾语现象以及其他不及物动词后带名词现象作出明确的甄别。本书对非宾格性句法配置的研究，不是单纯在词库中对动词的词性进行非宾格性界定，而是在句法配置上对动词的非宾格性进行判别，对其句法结构表征进行生成解释。这不仅深化了汉语动词的及物性范畴，而且也拓宽了对汉语句法结构的研究视野，使汉语研究更好地与西方语言研究接轨。
