核心句数范畴词语搭配的语义制约

Semantic Restrictions in Lexical Collocations in Neclear Sentences as Exemplified by the Category of Number

以英语和汉语为语料,从语法意义和词汇意义的角度讨论核心句数范畴词语合格搭配的限制条件。作为综合语,英语核心句的组合在形态上接受数范畴对词语搭配的制约;汉语属分析型语言,无形态标志,词语搭配的限制主要表现为语义蕴涵。语法意义是综合语的必要条件,而词汇意义是所有语言遵循搭配规则。

On the basis of English and Chinese as linguistic data, the discussion is focused on the grammatical category of number in kernel sentences and restrictional conditions. As a synthetic language, word combination in English kernel sentences is subject to morpho--syntactic restrictions in its category of number. Being an analytic language with no inflectional indications, word combination in Chinese, however, is mainly characterised by the conceptual meaning of lexical items. As a conclusion, grammatical meaning is a necessary factor in the determination of well-formed sentences in synthetic languages while lexical meaning is the rule applicable to all languages.
