在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个案例，将指示识别视为NP中的一种语法化和语义转变，类似于VP中的辅助化。我们指出的具体类比是词汇动词和词汇完整形容词之间的类比，词汇动词语法化为由限定词约束的次要助动词，如is going to，has to +动词，词汇完整形容词语法化为由主要限定词约束的后置限定词，如不同的，相同的+名词。在历时和共时数据分析的基础上，我们提出了五个关于后限定词意义发展的个案研究。所研究的形容词是对立的、完整的、古老的、规则的和必要的，其后置限定词的用法涉及到空间、数量、时间和情态等基本指示系统。我们对数据的分析表明，二次指示的机制可以被统一地描述为语义转移，通过这种语义转移，形容词所表达的一般关系被赋予了一个在言语事件中或相对于言语事件的主观参照点。
In this article we make a case for recognizing deictification as a type of grammaticalization and semantic shift in the NP analogous to auxiliarization in the VP. The specific analogy we point out is between lexical verbs that grammaticalize into secondary auxiliaries bound by the finite, as in is going to, has to + verb, and lexically full adjectives that grammaticalize into postdeterminers bound by the primary determiner, as in a different, the same + noun. We present five case studies of the development of postdeterminer meanings, based on the analysis of diachronic and synchronic data. The adjectives studied are opposite, complete, old, regular and necessary, whose postdeterminer uses relate to the basic deictic systems of space, quantity, time and modality. Our analysis of the data shows that the mechanism of secondary deictification can be given a unified characterization as the semantic shift by which a general relation expressed by the adjective is given a subjective reference point in or relative to the speech event.
