摘要
词类的概念在现代语言学中还没有一个准确而严密的界定。语言类型学在标记理论基础上提出 ,典型的词类就是语用功能和语义范畴的无标记组合。这种观点比传统词类理论有更大的解释力 。
The notion of parts of speech has been widely accepted in modern linguistics. However, such categories as noun, verb and adjective have never been explicitly defined. Traditional approaches to this issue have serious drawbacks. Linguistic typology, based on markedness theory, offers a cross-linguistic definition of parts of speech. It argues that unmarked combinations of pragmatic functions and semantic categories constitute such major categories as noun, verb and adjective. This approach, while distinguishing major syntactic categories from minor ones, offers a set of cross-linguistic grammatical criteria for evaluating the universality of the parts-of-speech distinctions.
