汉语单音节定语移位的语义制约

本文讨论汉语多项定语的粘合式定中结构中居首的单音节定语遵循韵律规则移位时存在的语义制约,提出语义松紧度接近原则是移位得以进行的前提条件:居首的单音节定语与中心词的语义松紧度同后续定语与中心词的语义松紧度相差越小的越容易移位;反之则越难移位。本文认为,语义松紧度接近原则不仅能说明有些居首单音节定语何以不可移位(如黑皮革沙发、甜红豆粥),还可对居首单音节定语移位的可能位置作出预测。最后本文分析了四川北路和北四川路两类路名的不同语义内涵,说明语义对居首单音节定语移位的重要制约作用。

Semantic constraints on the movement of the monosyllabic attributives in Chinese

This paper proposes the Semantic Closeness Principle to explain the semantic constraint on the movement of the monosyllabic attributives in the nominal structure,i.e.,the closer the distance is between the initial and the adjacent attributive in the semantic hierarchy of the multiple modifiers,the easier the movement tends to be.The principle can also be applied to predict the grammatical position of the attributives after movement.Finally,the paper illustrates semantic constraints with the example of sichu...
