本文认为,英语中涉及关联形容词的形容词-名词结构,既有词汇上的根源,也有句法上的根源。虽然在许多情况下,这样的结构是明确的,并且由于可识别的原因,位于词典-语法“分水岭”的一边或另一边,变化只可能在说话者之间发生,但可以识别出一系列关联的adjn,这些adjn必须同时存在,并且对于同一说话者,具有词汇和句法来源。因此,没有词典语法的“划分”:两个模块重叠。
This article argues that of English adjective–noun constructions involving associative adjectives (‘associative AdjNs’), some originate in the lexicon and others in the syntax. While in many cases such constructions are unambiguously and for identifiable reasons located on one side or the other of the lexicon–syntax ‘divide’, variation being possible only across speakers, a range of associative AdjNs is identified which must be simultaneously, and for the same speakers, of both lexical and syntactic provenance. There is therefore no lexicon–syntax ‘divide’: the two modules overlap.
