“N的V”结构中V的名词化及相关问题

The Nominalization of V In“ N De(的) V” Construction and Relevant Issues

如何判定“N的V”结构中V的词性,是学界颇有争议的话题之一。从三个平面的语法观可以证明,V不仅已经名词化,而且存在着名化度的差异。由于汉语缺少形态变化,V名化的形态标志可视为“零形式”。根据“名化域”概念,V受到副词修饰并不能证明V仍是动词,此时发生名化的不仅仅是V,而是整个以V为核心的动词短语,即整个VP都得以名化,表现出名词性。V的名词化在一定程度上解决了向心结构难题。

How to determine the word class of V in the“N de(的)V”construction has been a controversial issue in the academic circle.The“Three-layer”Grammar proves hat V has been nominalized with various degrees of nominalization.The Chinese language lacks morphology,thus V’s nominalization is Zero Form.According to the concept of“the domain of nominalization”,the fact that V can be modified by adverbs can’t prove that V remains as a verb.The reason is that,what is nominalized here is not just V but the whole Verb phrase with V as the head,i.e.the whole VP has been nominalized and displays the character of Noun.The nominalization of V naturally solves the Endocentric Paradox in Chinese.
