结构格、内在格与赋格成分的语类特征

Structural Case,Inherent Case,and Categorial Features of Case Assigners

Chomsky[8]主张结构格包括动词指派的宾格和带一致性特征的曲折成分I指派的主格,内在格包括形容词和名词指派的属格以及介词指派的斜格。然而,关于动词、名词和介词指派的格类问题,许多其他学者有不同的看法。通过深入分析这些不同主张,我们发现赋格成分的语类特征与格类之间存在某种整齐的对应关系。我们主张,所有功能语类中心语都是结构格赋格者,所有词汇语类中心语都是内在格赋格者。

Chomsky [8]proposes that V and INFL containing AGR assign structural case,whereas A,N,and P assign inherent case. Many other researchers,however,hold different views on the case categories assigned by V,N,and P. By analyzing different arguments,we find there exists a well-matched relationship between categorial features of case assigners and case categories. We assert that all functional heads are structural case assigners and all lexical heads are inherent case assigners.
