摘要
英语名词词组中多重前置修饰语的语序排列受其认知功能制约。多重前置修饰语的认知功能是对事物范畴进行多层次次范畴化,该功能具有顺序性。故此,多重前置修饰语的语序由多层次次范畴化的顺序决定,即需按照多层次次范畴化的顺序排列。据此发现,文章对英语名词词组中多重前置修饰语的"主观→客观"、"形容词→名词"和"例外"语序排列做出了统一的解释。
The word order of multilevel premodifiers in English noun phrases is determined by their cognitive functions. Cognitively,multilevel premodifiers play the function of subcategorizing the THING on different levels,which involves the order of subcategorization and requires that their word order be arranged in accordance with the order of the multilevel subcategorization. On the basis of these findings,this paper develops a unified account of the word-order arrangements of multilevel premodifiers in English noun phrases,including the ＂subjective→objective＂arrangement,the ＂adjective→noun＂arrangement and the commonly recorded＂exceptional＂arrangements.
