在极简纲领(Chomsky 1995)中,合并是一种集合运算,其成员之间不施加任何内在顺序。然而,句法结构被线性化成字符串的词在PF。本文提出,为了合并集被线性化,它的成员必须是分层移位或形态融合成一个单一的终端节点。实证研究的重点是DP的结构和线性化的各种结构。结果表明,非线性效应(DE)可归因于未线性化DP。在某些语言(阿拉伯语、希伯来语和罗马尼亚语)中,DE的系统性缺失在以前的分析中是出乎意料的,这是由于形态学的N到D提升(融合),因此满足线性化条件。此外,跨语言的证据表明,D可以吸引出DP的功能检查,呈现传递DP参数良构。语言学是研究形式和意义及其关系的学科。语言学理论是一种广义的心理理论,旨在描述和解释知觉(形式)和概念(意义)界面的属性,以及用于将它们联系起来的规则和表征。最简方案(乔姆斯基1995)概述了一个研究框架植根于这一概念的必要性。这表明人类语言的基本属性在很大程度上取决于外部接口的裸输出条件:语音形式(PF)和逻辑形式(LF)。这些条件对人类语言的可能结构施加了限制。人类语言的计算系统CHL是一个生成语言结构以满足界面条件的过程。词汇项,本质上是特征束的集合,是通过递归应用的结构构建操作组装的,在洪堡的意义上是“有限手段的无限使用”。计算在Spell-out点分支,将形成的语法结构发送到PF和LF进行解释。本文还进一步指出,汉语句法语言具有一定的经济性,避免了句法合成过程中的多余操作和多余表征。为了探索最简方案的结果,我们必须精确其理论假设,以使研究问题
In the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995), Merge is a set operation that imposes no intrinsic ordering among its members. However, syntactic structures are linearized into strings of words at PF. This paper proposes that in order for a Merger set to be linearized, its members must be either hierarchically displaced or morphologically fused into a single terminal node. The empirical study focuses on the structure of DP and its linearization in various constructions. It is shown that the Definiteness Effect (DE) can be attributed to the failure to linearize the DP in unaccusatives. The systematic lack of the DE in some languages (Arabic, Hebrew, and Romanian), unexpected in previous analyses, is due to the morphological N-to-D raising (fusion), therefore satisfying the linearization condition. Furthermore, cross-linguistic evidence is given to show that D can be attracted out of DP for feature checking, rendering transitive DP arguments well-formed. Linguistics is the study of Form and Meaning and their relations. Situated in a broad theory of mind, a linguistic theory aims to describe and explain the properties of the perceptual (Form) and conceptual (Meaning) interfaces, and the rules and representations employed to relate them. The Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995) outlines a research framework rooted in this conceptual necessity. It suggests that essential properties of human language are largely determined by the Bare Output Conditionsat the external interfaces: Phonetic Form (PF) and Logical Form (LF). These conditions impose constraints on the possible structures of human language. The computational system of human language, CHL, is a generative procedure that composes linguistic structures to satisfy interface conditions. Lexical items, essentially sets of feature bundles, are assembled by structure-building operations that apply recursively, in the Humboldtian sense of ''infinite use of finite means.'' The computation branches at the point of Spell-out, sending formed syntactic structures to PF and LF for interpretation. It is further conjectured that the CHL exhibits a certain degree of economy, which avoids superfluous operations and extraneous representations in the course of syntactic composition. To explore the consequence of the Minimalist approach, we must be precise about its theoretical assumptions in order for research problems to be
