漂浮量词结构位移及动因的句法研究

The Syntactic Analysis of Movement and Motivation of Floating Quantifiers

对漂浮量词结构的一些语言现象进行解释,得出以下结论:量词漂浮是由名词左移而不是由量词右移导致的;量词左向嫁接到其所修饰的名词短语上;量词不可以在论元指派位置(θ-position)嫁接到名词短语上,只能在非论元指派位置嫁接到名词短语上;在量词漂浮结构的生成中,名词短语通过移位到达表层位置,而量词直接嫁接插入至表层位置,量词不发生冗余并移(superfluous pied-piping),也不需并移后再漂浮。类似的两个漂浮量词结构具有不同的底层结构,而不是相同底层结构。

The thesis tries to interpret some linguistic facts in English Floating Quantifier construction.With our analysis,we find that,floating quantifiers are generated by leftward movement of Noun Phase （NP）,not by rightward movement of Quantifier Phrase （QP）;Quantifiers are left-adj oined to NP which they modify;Quantifiers cannot be adjoined to NP inθ position;As for the generation of Quantifier floating Structure,NPs arrive at Surface structure by movement,while quantifiers are inserted to Surface structure by adj unction.Superfluous pied-piping is not allowed,and floating after pied-piping is also not allowed.Two similar quantifier-floating structures have two different deep structures,not one same deep structure.
