汉语NP分句研究

A Study of NP-clause in Modern Chinese

根据"名词性"的强弱,汉语NP分句可分为常规和非常规两种。语义功能上,常规NP分句有四类:(1)表外貌特征或身份信息;(2)表存在或出现;(3)表特定发展阶段;(4)表程度强、范围广。非常规NP分句也有四类:(1)表前奏过程;(2)表场景描写;(3)表解释说明;(4)表修辞。语义功能不同的NP分句在句法功能上有不同的表现。

Chinese NP-clause can be classified into conventional NP-clause and unconventional NP-clause, according to degrees of their ＂noun nature＂. From the viewpoint of semantic functions, a conventional NP-clause can express： （1） appearance features or personal information; （2） existence or emergence; （3） a specific developing stage; （4） a high degree or a broad scope, and an unconventional NP-clause can be used for： （1） a pre-existing process; （2） a vivid circumstance description; （3） an explanation; （4） a rhetoric aim. Most of them have their corresponding structures and syntactic representations.
