汉语的定中关系动-名复合词

Abstract

表示定中关系的动名复合词和定中短语的句法特性不同,应该以是否带"的"来区分。定中复合词的内部语序繁多,结构相当复杂,分析时不能简单套用英语-er复合词的方法,生成过程也应不同于-er复合词。汉语定中复合词的接受程度受韵律的影响,也受制于语义和语用。 Chinese attributire V-N compounds may be interpreted as nominals with V as the modifier and they behave differently from nominal phrases with a verbal modifier which is marked with the morpheme de. There are many types of V-N compounds, in terms of internal constituent order and structure. Chinese V-N compounds are not the same as English synthetic -er compounds and they should not be analyzed in the same way. Chinese V-N compounds can be generated directly without referring to VP structure. Prosodic constraints, semantic restriction and pragmatic requirement have strong impact on the acceptability of V-N compounds.
