德宏傣语修饰语的语序探析

The Order of Modifiers of the Dai Language in Dehong

傣语修饰结构短语富于变化而复杂,又具有内在规律。名词的修饰语有名词、数词、量词、代词、形容词、动词等,动词的修饰语有助动词、否定副词、介词结构、时间名词、形容词等。这些修饰语与中心语的语序在一定的条件下有前置后置两种形式。

Though the modifier structures of the Dai language are complicated and varied,they have internal rules.Nouns,numerals,pronouns,adjectives and verbs can be used as noun modifiers while auxiliaries,negative adverbials,prepositional structure,nouns of time and adjectives can be used as verb modifiers.Under some conditions,these modifiers can be put either before or after the head words.
