On"syntax-semantics mismatches"and a parametric analysis of nominalization

Abstract

沈家煊(2007)讨论了六种所谓" 形义错配句",提出了"类推糅合"的分析方法。在这篇文章里,我们通过普通话和粤语的比较,论证那些"形义错配句"都应该由动名词名物化所产生,跟"类推 糅合"没有关系。粤语缺乏部分的"形义错配句"是因为名物化在粤语有特殊的句法制约,跟形成动名词的移位参数有关。 Shen(2007a) proposes a theory of"analogical blending"for six types of so-called"syntax-semantics mismatches"in Chinese.In this paper,it is proposed that those"syntaxsemantics mismatches"are all derived by gerundive nominalization,arguing against the"analogical blending",based on a comparative study of Mandarin and Cantonese.The lack of some"syntax-semantics mismatches"in Cantonese is due to a syntactic constraint on Cantonese nominalization,particularly a movement parameter associated with the derivation of gerundives.
