One of the million complications of thinking about this lecture isindeed to what extent it really is a significant departure from the work ofstructuralism.
老师,我看不明白这个句子, 它该怎么样断句理解? "is indeed to what extent it really is asignificant departure" 这部分的结构怎么样划分? 谢谢!!
One of the millioncomplications of thinking about this lecture is indeed to what extent it really is a significant departure from the work ofstructuralism.
1. is 是系动词，indeed 是副词修饰 is，“的确是”。
2. to whatextent it really is a significant departure from the work of structuralism，是表语从句，结构上是名词性特殊疑问分句。也就是说，这个表语从句本身又是一个间接的特殊疑问句，因为做了名词性从句，故起名字为 “名词性特殊疑问分句”。名字无所谓，你了解它是表语从句，由 what 引导，介词 to 提前就好了。
3. 特殊疑问句的例子：
To what extent areyou willing to help me? 你想在多大程度上帮助我？
To what extentdoes she rely on you? 她在多大程度上依靠你？
