名词性的研究主要集中在名词与动词的主位属性是否不同的问题上。这场争论主要分为两大倾向。一项研究认为,名词基本上是不及物或主题上有缺陷的词汇类别,因此从句和名词不能相似(Rappaport 1983;Marantz 1984;Zubisarreta 1987;和 Grimshaw 1988,1990)。另一种观点遵循乔姆斯基(1970)的观点,支持名词的主位结构与动词的主位结构相似的论点。名词性和分句结构所表现出的差异是由于某些语法模块的介入决定了系统的变体(参见Anderson 1979、1984;Cinque 1980;Abney 1987;Giorgi 和 Longobardi 1991 等)。本文将采用后一种观点。沿着这条线,我将在名词化备注中提出建议,即主题相关的词汇项目可以被设想为一组类别中性词干,由 θ 网格组成。我将声称标签 NP 可以通过两种方式分配给所谓的派生名词的中性词干:或者通过附加派生元素,或者通过附加屈折元素。该假设解释了在某些类型的加泰罗尼亚名义词中发现的主动/被动交替。将表明句法形式(即主动或被动)与结构的指称属性直接相关。本文的范围有限。它提出了关于名词、动词和非动词的一般构成结构的假设,并对名词化过程的构成进行了分析。它的组织如下:加泰罗尼亚语名词词的基本结构将在第 1 节中讨论。众所周知的词序事实来自我们的建议。第 2 节将简要讨论所假设的词典理论。第 3 节将重点讨论主动/被动交替和名词的指称属性。名词化词缀及其属性将在第 4 节中讨论。在第 5 节中,我们
The study of nominals has mainly centered on the issue of whether nouns differ from verbs in their thematic properties. The debate has split in two major tendencies. One line of research argues that nouns are basically intransitive or thematically defective lexical categories, hence clauses and nominals cannot be alike (Rappaport 1983; Marantz 1984; Zubizarreta 1987; and Grimshaw 1988,1990). The other point of view follows Chomsky (1970) and Supports the contention that the thematic structure of nouns parallels that of verbs. The differences that nominal and clausal structures show are due to the Intervention of certain modules of grammar that determine systematic variations (see Anderson 1979, 1984; Cinque 1980; Abney 1987; and Giorgi and Longobardi 1991, among others). The point of view that will be adopted in this paper is the latter one. Following this line, I will develop the Suggestion in Remarks ofNominalizations that thematically related lexical items may be conceived äs a set of category-neutral stems, consisting of a theta-grid. I will Claim that the label NP can be assigned to the neutral stem of the so-called derived nominals in two ways: either by affixation of a derivational element, or by affixation of an inflectional element. This hypothesis accounts for the active/passive alternation that is found in some types of Catalan nominals. It will be shown that the syntactic form (i.e. active or passive) is directly related to the denotative properties of the construction. The paper is limited in scope. It proposes a hypothesis on the general constituent structure of nominals, deverbal and non-deverbal, and an analysis of what constitutes the nominalization process. It is organized äs follows: the basic structure of Catalan nominals will be discussed in section 1. Well known word order facts follow from our proposal. The theory of the lexicon that will be assumed will briefly be discussed in section 2. Section 3 will focus on the active/passive alternation and the denotative properties of nominals. The nominalization affix and its properties are discussed in section 4. In section 5, we
