对空间义的区分:名词的属性义表达(一)——定语、状语、谓语等位置上名词的属性义表达

Differentiation of Spatial Meaning: Expression of Noun Properties (1)

文章从对名词的空间义与其他意义类型进行区分的立足点出发,分析了现代汉语名词对属性义的表达,讨论了名词在定语位置、谓语位置、"‘很’类副词+N"格式时,所分别陈述或指称属性意义时的各自形式与语义上的特点。认为现代汉名词对属性义的表达,存在一个从定语位置到谓语位置、然后再到"‘很’类副词+N"格式、状语位置这样一个发展过程与过渡阶段。

This paper starts with a distinction of nouns in its spatial meanings and other meaning categories and proceeds to analyze the expression of properties in modern Chinese nouns and to discuss the various forms and semantic traits of nouns in stating and referring to property meanings when nouns are employed as attributes, predicates and in the pattern of ＂adverbs of the ＇very＇ category ＋ N＂. It is opined that there is a developmental process and a transitional phase from attributes through predicates to the pattern of ＂adverbs of the ＇ very＇ category ＋ N＂ and to adverbials in the expression of property meanings by modern Chinese nouns.
