“的”字短语句法结构和“的”的句法功能研究

Research on the Syntactic Structure of De-Phrase and the Syntactic Function of “De”

文章分析了三例经典“的”字短语句法结构的利弊,并根据其中存在的问题深入研究“的”字短语结构。首先论证了“的”字短语句法核心是“的”后成分;然后推论出“的”的句法位置是附加于核心的详指位置(Spec),揭示了“的”具有名词性探针选择功能,“的”的这一句法功能是语义上的名物化在句法上的体现,是语义与句法的完美接口。

This paper analyzes the pros and cons of three classic structures of“De-phrase”,aiming to make a deep research into the syntactic structure of“De-phrase”based on the problems found in those classic syntactic analysis.It argues that the syntactic head of“De-phrase”is the constituent after“De”.It further claims that the syntactic position of“De”is the“Spec”position adjunct to the syntactic head of“De-phrase”.Moreover,“De”has noun selective probe function which is the syntactic embodiment of semantic nominalization and is therefore the perfect interface between syntax and semantics.
