1.1不可剥夺占有(IA)是一种与某些包含两个名义成分的结构相关的解释,其中一个表示身体部位(body part (BP) DP),而另一个表示被解释为身体部位所有者的人(POSS DP)。理想情况下,语法将每个解释与单个语法结构联系起来。例如,在wh结构中,一个显性或隐性的操作符总是位于句子的起始位置,它的作用范围遍及整个句子。在被动和中间结构中,动词的内部论点上升到矩阵主语位置,而忽略了未实现的或在句法上“降级”的外部论点。由于IA解释是由多种句子结构触发的,因此乍一看,人们似乎无法将其与单一的句法结构联系起来。例如,在事件句(1a)中,主语实现POSS论点,直接宾语实现BP DP。在(1b)中,BP DP是直接宾语,而占有者是与格DP。在(1c)中,直接宾语实现了占有者论元,而BP DP嵌入在V的PP修饰语中。
1.1 Inalienable possession (IA) is a construal associated with certain structures containing two nominal constituants, one of which denotes a body part (the Body Part (BP) DP) while the other denotes a human being construed as the possessor of the body part (the POSS DP). Ideally, the grammar associates every construal with a single syntactic structure. In wh-constructions, for example, an overt or covert operator is invariably located in a sentence-initial position where it takes scope over the entire sentence. In passive and middle constructions, the internal argument of the verb raises to matrix subject position, passing over a non-realized or syntactically “demoted” external argument. Because the IA construal is triggered by a variety of sentential structures, it seems at first that one cannot associate it with a single syntactic configuration.In the eventive sentence (1a), for example, the subject realizes the POSS argument and the direct object the BP DP. In (1b) the BP DP is the direct object while the possessor is a Dative DP. In (1c) the direct object realizes the possessor argument while the BP DP is embedded in a PP modifier of V.
