修饰成分与数量结构话语指称性分析

A Study on Prenominal Modifiers and Discourse Referentiality of Classified NPs

带修饰成分的数量结构的持续值显著高于不带修饰成分的数量结构的持续值,带多个修饰成分的数量结构的持续值显著高于带一个修饰成分的数量结构的持续值,这显示修饰成分具有凸显名词短语的作用,与象似性理论一致。但这不够充分,这些数量结构持续值的差异跟生命度、语义指称性、数或句法结构等因素有关。修饰成分与中心成分之间无"的"的数量结构的持续值显著高于修饰成分与中心成分之间有"的"的数量结构的持续值,也跟这些因素有关。由此可见,生命度等因素与持续性具有普遍、密切的关系。这些因素的组配互动还可为偏误分析提供新的视角和思路。

Classified NPs with a prenominal modifier are significantly higher in conti- nuity value than classified NPs without a prenominal modifier, and classified NPs with multiple prenominal modifiers are significantly higher in continuity value than classified NPs with one prenominal modifier. This shows that prenominal modifiers put NPs in more salient positions, which accords with the principle of iconicity. The present author argues that it is inadequate to attribute the differences in continuity value between these classified NPs to the principle of iconicity only; factors such as animacy, semantic referentiality, number, and syntactical role also have some bearing in this regard. The significantly high- er continuity value of classified NPs without de（的） between the prenominal modifier and the head noun than those with de can also be explained in terms of such factors. It then seems that these factors are closely and extensively related to continuity and the interac- tion between them can provide new perspectives and ideas for error analysis.
