名词中间结构与名词结构歧义

N-bar and Nominal Structural Ambiguity

对名词结构歧义的生成研究是在一个完全脱离语境的情况下来看语言由于其本身的局限性——有限的句法和词汇和无限的表达之间的矛盾而产生的语言结构岐义。生成语法一直在谈论结构歧义,但很少涉及名词结构歧义研究,名词在其深层结构中可以被解释两种身份:名词和名词中间结构。根据表层结构到深层结构的α-移动理论以及对名词中间结构的定义可以研究名词结构歧义的定义、检测方法及其生成机制,名词歧义有名词多义歧义即词汇歧义和名词结构歧义之分。名词结构歧义是同一名词在深层结构上具有两种身份,即名词和名词中间结构,而这两个深层结构在转向表层结构时会在特定的语境下产生歧义。名词结构歧义的生成机制是因为在深层结构中的名词在生成表层结构时产生了两个或两个以上的身份,产生两个或两个以上的解释,从而产生了名词结构歧义。

Structural ambiguity is traced back to the contradiction between finite syntax and infinite expressions for its generative mechanism without considering the context in which a language operates. Generative grammar seldom touches nominal structural ambiguity. Noun can be explained into two different identities in D--structure： noun;N-bars. How nominal structural ambiguity is named,tested,and turned out is penetrated into according to movement from D-structure to S-structure and the concept of N-bar by Chomsky. Nominal ambiguity is classified into two kinds：nominal lexical ambiguity and nominal structural ambiguity, two of which can produce ambiguity when moved from D-structure to S-structure. The reason for the production of nominal structural ambiguity is that an nominal unit is given two different identities when it is moved from D-structure to S-structure.
