量词和量词结构再分析

Revisiting Classifiers and Classifier Constructions

  • 摘要: 本文首先提出量词和量词结构分析上的一些问题。量词并非核心词,而仅仅是附加于中心语的附缀,其本身并非其所在结构的中心语,因而无法形成最大投射ClP或nP。在这一框架下,对DP分析和量词结构理论做了进一步补充和完善,讨论了量词前后成分之间的句法-语义关系、线性特征、语义角色、特征赋值、句法表现形式等问题,旨在运用形式句法学的短语结构理论来准确地表示量词结构内部的句法-语义关系,为不同语言的量词结构提供统一的解释。

     

    Abstract: Some questions regarding the analysis of classifiers and classifier constructions are raised in this paper.The classifier, as a mere adjunct adjoining to the head, cannot serve as the head of the noun phrase containing it, and as a result it cannot project as ClP or nP.Under this approach, the DP analysis and classifier construction theory are further refined.The constituents which precede and follow the classifier are analyzed in terms of their syntactic function, semantic relation, linear features, thematic roles, feature assignment and syntactic representations in order to represent the classifier construction with the X-bar phrase structure theory appropriately and present a universal approach to classifier constructions in various languages.
