生成语法学中的“的”字结构

De(的) Constructions in Generative Grammar

生成语法学中的短语结构理论认为每个句法结构都有核心,而且只有一个核心;每个结构(最多)只有两个直接成分;核心(范畴)不是原子成分,而是特征集的复合体;每个结构都有可能被另一核心进行扩展,成为另一核心的补足语等。本文根据该理论和“的”字结构的句法语义行为,论证了“的”为名词性功能范畴,并成为句法核心的可能性。

The theory of phrase structures in the Generative Grammar claims that （a） every syntactic structure has one and only one head; （b） every structure has only two immediate constituents at most; （c） heads （or categories） are not atomic elements; rather, they are feature complexes; （d） every structure can be extended by another head and becomes a complement of the head. Based on the theory and the syntactic - semantic behaviors of de constructions, this paper provides evidences to prove de＇s possible head status and its nominal feature.
