定语位置上名词的句法表现及其语义特征

文章根据定语和中心语之间的语义关系,把定语位置上的名词分为领属定语和属性定语两类.二者在句法表现和语义特征上存在着明显的对立:领属定语句法上表现为能前加名量词,能受形容词、区别词、名词等定语的修饰,语义上显现出空间义、有指义、外延义;属性定语与之相反,句法上表现为不能前加名量词,不受形容词、区别词、名词等定语的修饰,语义上显现出性质义、无指义、内涵义.文章还指出,做定语不是名词的典型句法功能,而是名词非范畴化的结果.

The Sentence Structure Interpretation of a Noun as An Attribute and Its Semantic Feature

This article is concerned about that a noun as attribute can be divided into two categories according to its semantic relationship between an attribute and a head word-a possessive attribute and a belonging attribute.There is a obvious antithesis between them on the semantic feature and the sentence structure interpretation.A possessive attribute can be put a measure word before it,and it can be modified by an adjective,a distinguished word or a noun.It can be interpreted as the meaning of space,referrence and extension.However,a belonging attribute is contrary to the possessive one in all aspects.The article is also concerned about that a noun's typical founction is not to work as an attribute but it is an effect of noncategrorization.
