Ta-de laoshi dang-de hao and nominalization in Chinese dialects

Abstract

黄正德(2008)讨论了"他的老师当得好"等"形义错配句"的派生方式,并且提出了动名词的分析。沈家煊(2007)等提出了不同的看法,认为"他的老师当得好"句式通过"类推糅合"的方法产生。文章通过汉语南北方言的比较,首先指出派生说和糅合说的一些问题,然后论证"形义错配句"应该由动名词名物化所产生的,跟"类推糅合"没有关系,而汉语方言的差异由形成动名词的移位参数所决定。 Huang(2008)discusses ’syntax-semantics mismatches’ in Chinese under a generative approach.Contrary to Huang’s(2008)generative analysis,Shen(2007)proposes an ’analogical blending’ explanation.In this paper,it is claimed that the apparent mismatches are derived by gerundive nominalization based on a comparative study of Chinese dialects,according to which the lack of some ’syntax-semantics mismatches’ in southern dialects is due to a parameter of movement associated with the derivation of gerundives,arguing against the ’analogical blending’.
