《新编高级英语语法》有如下例句:
1. lt's strange him leaving like that.
2. Him recognizing his faults is a good thing.
3. You/Your falling into the river was the climax of the whole trip.
第1,2句,《新编》的解释是:只有在极其随便的谈话中才有用代词宾格作主语的情况。也有语法学者认为这类用代词宾格作主语的-ing分词分句不宜放在句首。
因无法判定第3句的you是主格代词还是宾格代词,所以,是否存在主格代词作逻辑主语的权威实例(如语法书或惯用法辞书中的)?如果有,麻烦提供一下,十分感谢。
这个问题只能当做了解,最好不要当做规则。因为语法书没有类似的例子。但静心同学热衷探究,我就提供点相关的研究资料。根据Huddleston and Pullum (2002: 1220) themselves state that all -ing-clauses can take oblique subjects, but that traditional gerunds can take genitive subjects as well whereas traditional participles can also take
nominative subjects. (14) a. She resented his/him/*he being invited to open the debate.
b. We appointed Max, he/him/*his being much the best qualified of the candidates.
动名词的所有格形式的主语和真正的所有格形式还是有区别的
a. I was amazed at Stacy‘s eagerness, and at Morgan‘s too. b. *I was amazed at Stacy‘s being so eager, and at Morgan‘s too.涉及焦点时and possessives, unlike oblique subjects, cannot fall in the scope of focal adverbials within the gerund clause, as shown by (18). (18) the chance of him [/*his] in particular being hit by a meteorite remains constant (Google)
关于主格形式作主语的,判断下面两例b. It was only to be expected, he being thirty-five years older than me(CB) I say bring him on, he being in NY makes it just that much more fun. (Google) 研究文章的摘录,权当了解
