摘要在许多语言中，在名词N和N的修饰语或补语之间插入连接符。我们集中在阿尔巴尼亚语的冠词和伊朗的ezafes上，并介绍了来自阿罗曼语的比较数据。在第二节中，我们提供了关于为什么目前可用的链接器的正式理论(作为系词、作为案例分配者、作为身份避免的手段)在应用于阿尔巴尼亚语或库尔德人时面临问题的论点。在第三节中，我们根据词法、句法和解释的证据，论证了连接词(至少在所考虑的语言中)与它们后面的A(P)构成一个成分，它们的范畴是D。第四节包含了讨论的理论核心。连接词D和限定词D具有共同的事实，即它们都能够满足谓词中心语(例如A)的论元槽。然而，关闭DP的D是一个运算符，在限制词(NP)和量化域(VP)之间建立了关系。连接词D是一个约束变量，它为最终由较高的D约束的theta角色提供了满足感。提供了基于该分析的限定词、连接词和代词的跨语言类型学。在第五节中，我们将分析扩展到生殖期前的连接词，将所有格视为一种基本的部分-整体关系，其中连接词饱和了外部论元(所有格)。
Abstract In many languages a linker element is inserted between a noun N and a modifier or a complement of N. We focus on Albanian articles and on Iranian ezafes, and we introduce comparison data from Aromanian. In section 2, we provide arguments as to why currently available formal theories of linkers (as copulas, as case assigners, as means for identity avoidance) face problems when applied to Albanian or Kurdish. In section 3 we argue, on the basis of morphological, syntactic and interpretive evidence, that linkers (at least in the languages considered) form a constituent with the A(P) that follows them and that their category is D. Section 4 contains the theoretical core of the discussion. A linker D and a determiner D have in common the fact that they are both able to satisfy argument slots of a predicative head (e.g. A). However a D closing off a DP is an operator, establishing a relation between a restrictor (the NP) and a domain of quantification (a VP). A linker D is a bound variable – it provides a satisfaction for a theta-role ultimately bound by the higher D. A cross-linguistic typology of determiners, linkers and pronominal clitics based on this analysis is provided. In section 5 we extend the analysis to pre-genitival linkers, treating genitive case as an elementary part-whole relation, of which the linker saturates the external argument (the possessum).
