翻译后摘要:本文报告的指示,数词,形容词和名词的顺序的类型学研究,基于576种语言的样本。我提出了一套五个表面的原则,相互作用,以预测这四个元素的不同顺序的相对频率,从而更原则的秩序符合,更频繁的将是。我提供的证据表明,不同的订单的相对频率只能描述和解释的语义概念的指示,数词,形容词,独立的句法实现,而不是在句法类别。我将我的方法与Cinque(2005)对同一现象的生成性解释进行了比较。我认为,我的方法占不同订单的相对频率比辛克的在一些方面。
Abstract:This article reports on a typological study of the order of demonstrative, numeral, adjective, and noun, based on a sample of 576 languages. I propose a set of five surface principles which interact to predict the relative frequencies of the different orders of these four elements, whereby the more principles an order conforms to, the more frequent it will be. I provide evidence that the relative frequencies of the different orders can only be described and explained in terms of semantic notions of demonstrative, numeral, and adjective, independent of their syntactic realization, and not in terms of syntactic categories. I compare my approach to a generative account of the same phenomenon by Cinque (2005). I argue that my approach accounts for the relative frequencies of the different orders better than Cinque’s in a number of respects.
