本文结合形容词在不同语言中的解释和放置，探讨了名词提升的触发因素和理据。我指出，首先，名词移位的性质在经验和概念上都是有问题的。其次，形容词在语言中的后名词性位置被认为是由名词移动造成的，这与对那些利用其谓词来源的分析是一致的。因此，关于名词相对于形容词的相对顺序的跨语言不对称源于普遍语法中可用于形容词修饰的句法结构，而不是DP内句法中心抬高的结果。
The paper investigates the triggers and the motivation for noun raising in combination with the interpretation and placement of adjectives within the DP across languages. I point out that first the nature of noun movement is empirically and conceptually problematic. Second, the post-nominal position of adjectives in languages for which it has been argued to result from noun movement is consistent with an analysis of those that capitalizes on their predicative source. Thus the cross-linguistic asymmetry concerning the relative order of nouns with respect to adjectives has its source in the syntactic configurations available in UG for adjectival modification and is not a result of syntactic head raising within the DP.
