本文旨在利用語段理論來研究DP語段內(nèi)的形容詞詞組的句法推導(dǎo),重在介紹形容詞的多重分類方法和形容詞的句法地位,以及形容詞在名詞詞組中的位置分布�；贐oleda, Badia和Walde (2005)對(duì)形容詞分類的研究,本文認(rèn)為,形容詞可以從語義,形態(tài)以及句法這三個(gè)層面來進(jìn)行分類,并且這三種分類方法之間有著很緊密的關(guān)系。通過對(duì)名詞詞組和分句的類比研究,Svenonius (2003)認(rèn)為,在名詞詞組中至少存在兩個(gè)語段,分別是DP和nP。DP對(duì)應(yīng)于分句中CP語段,而nP對(duì)應(yīng)于分句中的vP語段。在Svenonius (2003)的理論基礎(chǔ)上,本文提出了新的觀點(diǎn),認(rèn)為名詞詞組中的兩個(gè)語段分別是限定詞詞組DP和輕名詞詞組nP。 對(duì)于形容詞的句法地位,學(xué)術(shù)界有四種經(jīng)典的觀點(diǎn):中心語;附加語;標(biāo)示語;簡(jiǎn)化了的關(guān)系從句。本文首先綜述了這四種基本觀點(diǎn),并分析了每種觀點(diǎn)各自的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn),進(jìn)而嘗試提出一種新的觀點(diǎn)。本文認(rèn)為,所有的形容詞的初始位置都在其所修飾的名詞之后,并且他們都是由簡(jiǎn)化了的關(guān)系從句衍生而來的;此觀點(diǎn)基于本文所提出的特征F和參數(shù)P。所有的形容詞有具有普遍特征F,而不同語言的形容詞具有不同的參數(shù)P...
