本文指出,与英语研究得出的结论相反,量词短语和述位并不一定是不相容的。在对日语形容词结构中的量词短语进行详细考察的基础上,笔者建议量词短语出现在比主语更低的投射中,这些结构在过去没有得到应有的重视。我还提供了允许量词和pos共同出现的成分语义,并解释了为什么英语和日语在这方面存在差异。此外,本文的分析还改变了人们对日语形容词形态轮廓的看法。本文提出的新观点得到了跨语言数据的支持。
This paper shows that a measure phrase andposare not necessarily incompatible, contrary to the conclusion reached from the study of English. I propose that a measure phrase appears in a projection lower than the one that hostspos, on the basis of the detailed investigation into Japanese adjectival structures featuring a measure phrase, structures that have not received proper attention in the past. I also provide compositional semantics that allows the co-occurrence of a measure phrase andpos, together with an account of why English and Japanese differ in this particular respect. Furthermore, the analysis proposed in this paper alters the view on the morphological profile of adjectives in Japanese. The new perspective presented is supported by cross-linguistic data.
