學術服務


從1975年起擔任《中國語言學報》(Journal of Chinese Linguistics) 副編輯至今。從1987至1994年擔任美國《中文教師協會學報》(Journal of Chinese Teachers Association) 總編輯。從2011年起擔任《華語文教學研究》(Journal of Chinese Language Teaching)主編。同時擔任其他語言學及中國語言學期刊的編輯委員,包括《語言暨語言學》(Language and Linguistics),《同心圓:語言學研究》(Concentric: Studies in Linguistics),《當代語言學》(Contemporary Linguistics),《東方語言學》(EASTLING)。曾任國際中國語言學學會 (IACL) 副會長 (2003-2004) 及會長 (2004-2005)。

研究範圍與特點


研究領域以語法與語義為主。大致以漢語語料為基礎,以美國現代語法理論為架構,探討漢語語法與語義的特徵,及其對語法理論的涵意。研究方向可分四期:
第一期(1970-1978):著重於衍生變型語法的研究。其博士論文 "Coordination Reduction"(並列結構的縮減)(Tai 1970) 為此期之代表作。論文中提出縮減與重組的基本形式機制,來衍生不同語言中的各種並列結構。其後,於1972年研究並列結構與關係子句在漢語、英文、阿拉伯文等語言的不同,對衍生變型文法的移動 (movement) 基本觀念,提出修正,主張移動應視為複印 (copying) 與等同刪除 (identity deletion) 的結果 (Sanders and Tai 1972b)。這個觀念終於在最近獲得肯定,而被杭士基在最新的語法理論 "The Minimalist Program" (Chomsky 1995) 所採用。另於1973年提出漢語的基底詞序 (underlying word order) 為主詞 – 受詞 – 動詞 (SOV) (Tai 1973a) 及漢語從古代的 SVO 演變至現代 SOV 的理論 (Tai 1976b)。在70年代及80年代,有關漢語詞序的論文都會引用這兩篇文章。此外,也對漢語副詞分為狀語與補語的語義基礎,加以分析,而提出漢語副詞詞序的語義基礎理論 (Tai 1973a, 1975)。同時,他也研究漢語照應詞 (anaphor) 與代名詞的分佈情況 (Tai 1978),並因此體認形式語法對漢語分析的限制,以及功能語法的解釋能力的優勢。
第二期(1979-1987):從這個階段開始,逐漸由形式語法轉入功能語法。於1978-1979年在美國麻省理工學院擔任訪問學者期間,與杭士基 (Noam Chomsky) 研究語法理論,更覺形式語法之不足,從而轉向,開始致力於功能語法之研究。此期之代表作為(1)"Relevant Categorial Distinctions in Chinese" (Tai 1982),文中利用範疇語法 (Categorial Grammar) 的語義觀念,來確認漢語的詞類,並指出漢語的詞類與印歐語的詞類迥然不同;(2)"Verbs and Times in Chinese: Vendler's Four Categories" (Tai 1984),文中指出 Vendler 的四個動詞範疇在漢語中只有三個。漢語沒有成就範疇。漢語成就範疇的概念是以“動作 – 結果複合詞”(resultative compounds) 來表現;(3)"Temporal Sequence and Word Order in Chinese" (Tai 1985) 主張漢語的詞序主要取決於人類概念系統中的時間次序,同時指出語法類象性 (iconicity) 的存在,及其對形式語法的挑戰。這三篇文章都是利用漢語的特點,來修正西方主流的語法與語義的理論,同時也跨進認知語法的研究領域。
第三期(1987-1995):在俄亥俄州立大學期間,致力於建立以認知為基礎的功能語法,來研究漢語語法。其理論基礎發表於
"Towards a Cognition-based Functional Grammar of Chinese" (Tai 1989),並與薛鳳生合編 Functionalism and Chinese Grammar (Tai and Hsueh 1989),以及《功能主義與漢語語法》 (戴、薛 1994)。同時開始致力於漢語量詞的認知基礎的研究 (Tai 1992a, 1994, Tai and Wang 1990, Tai and Chao 1994),漢語語法的類象動機 (Iconic motivation) (Tai 1993a),漢語的空間概念的表達 (Tai 1993b),漢語動詞與名詞的認知基礎 (Tai 1997)。這期間的研究成果與理論涵意於 Biq, Tai, and Thompson 1996 中有簡要說明,並提出以範疇形成(categorization)、時間與空間 (space and time)、類象性 (iconicity)、隱喻 (metaphor) 為認知功能語法的四個研究重點。
第四期(1995 – 迄今):自創立台灣中正大學語言學研究所以來,一方面繼續研究語言與認知關係,一方面開始對語言、心靈、與人腦的互動進行研究。在認知心理學、腦神經心理學與心靈哲學的基礎上,來研究漢語,繼續探索漢語認知系統,並提出非自主性語法的幾個研究基點。在這期間,設計了一套嶄新的心理語言學研究方法,收集了台灣閩南語及客家話量詞系統各自在不被其他漢語方言影響的單語說話者(monolingual speakers)的使用情形。這兩個系列研究替台灣閩南語及客語保存了珍貴的原始資料,並且奠定了這兩個方言量詞的認知系統的研究基礎。這個研究方法將來可以很容易用來研究漢語其他方言的量詞系統,對語言與認知的研究提供絕佳的素材。自2000年開始,又開創了台灣的手語研究。目前正在研究台灣自然手語的辭彙與語法,撰寫《台灣手語參考語法》(預計於2005年底完成),並且建立台灣手語線上影像辭典(Taiwan Sign Language Online Dictionary, 已於2008年上線)。這個研究將會為台灣自然手語保存珍貴的記錄資料,並且對語言與認知的互動有突破性的了解。
總結上述研究歷程,可見戴浩一其人不斷地要求自己突破與創新,利用豐富的中國語言材料,對不同時期的語法及語義理論,提出修正與建議。這些觀點都有受到台灣、中國大陸及國際語言學家的肯定,相關著作至今仍廣被引用。
