2 关于only that的词性分析

1.with the exception that 除了;只是

he is a good student , only that he is a little lazy

他是一个好学生,只是有点儿懒

2.If it were not that 若不是;要不是;

I should like to go , only that I am ill

I would come only that I am engaged to dine out.

请教曹老师,这个onlythat,都可以作从属连词连接状语从句的功能;那么,这个only that到哪个是真正的从属连词? 哪个是副词?

我感觉that是真正的连词; only在这儿只是起到了加强语气的作用,这么判断不知道对不对,恳请曹老师的解答!

作为连词使用的only为非正式用法,大约等于并列连词but,或者从属连词except that。词典例句中这种用法的only后都没有that。例如:

牛津:I'd love to come, only I have to work.

麦克米伦:Her car is like mine, only it has four doors.

韦氏高阶:I'd love to sing along, only I don't know the words. They did have a radio, only it was broken.

但语料库确实有only that引导从句的,估计这是非正式语体,把only that当做except that使用了。你没有必要把only that拆开分析,合起来当做except that,或者but去理解就可以了。

牛津 朗文 剑桥 柯林斯 麦克米伦 韦氏等主流词典都明确说了only可以作连词,属于非正式用法,此时不需要再加that,你可以查阅词典确认一下。

相信于同学对only (that)的使用没什么疑问,问题在语法分析上。关于only that 91年大学英语 03期有文介绍。可查阅。

我自己看到关于使用only that的解释是方言。但从历史上看,only that 的使用也有数百年历史了。其词性应该定义为连词,而that也是连接词,跟but (that),except (that) 类似。关于这个only that的问题我引 文如下:Before examining the use of the utterance-initial connective only in more detail, let us

explore potential criteria for assessing its subordinator status. T e presence of the com-

plementizer that is viewed as unambiguously suggesting a subordinator function. This

use of only ( that ) resembles that of except ( that ) and but ( that )......

There are also other structural properties that have been interpreted as related to the subor-

dinator function. In example (39), the fact that the f rst-person subject pronoun has been lef

unrepeated af er only may suggest that it functions as a subordinator (‘except that I crave’):

(39) I have no more Only crave pardone to put zow to ye trouble in causeing delyver thes

other to M aster W illiam More (CSC 1664 ForbesGG66401)

In contrast, when only is immediately followed by a subordinating conjunction, in the

majority of cases (i.e., with the exception of combinations such as only if ), it functions as

an ut erance-initial connective....余略。----------by Anneli Meurman-Solin
