跨语言词类比较的“阿姆斯特丹模型”

Kees Hengeveld’s Cross-linguistic Model for Word Class Systems Comparison

本文介绍一个跨语言词类比较的模型,即由Kees Hengeveld提出的"阿姆斯特丹模型",介绍这个模型的功能主义基础,柔性、分化、刚性三类语言的划分,不同词类之间的蕴涵关系,以及这个模型对研究语言的形态类型和语序类型有什么影响。最后是对这个模型的评论和批评。

This paper presents a detailed introduction of a cross-linguistic model for comparing word class systems as put forward by K. Hengeveld and his colleagues with the University of Amsterdam, ranging from its functionalist perspective, the division of languages into differentiated, flexible, and rigid types, the implicational relations among different word classes, and the impact of the model on the study of morphological and word order typologies. The final part provides a brief critical review of this model.
