Relativsätze und Intensionalität

INT项目旨在澄清关系分句不同功能类型之间的关系。在资助的第一个阶段，对关系从句与各种内涵操作的相互作用进行了广泛而详细的调查，使该项目将重点放在以下现象领域，这些现象已被证明特别具有启发性：非特定不定词中的情态关系从句（如该公司正在寻找一名英语流利的工程师）显示了限制性和同位语阅读之间的系统联系。对于数量亲戚，在英语中特别突出（我们永远喝不了他们昨晚洒出来的香槟），可以用比较级结构来连接（我们能喝的香槟量永远不会是他们昨晚洒出来的香槟量）。在某些情况下，例如隐藏式感叹词（你在这些会议上遇到的人真让人吃惊），通常是可选的关系从句，却对结构的语法性至关重要（修改许可）。上述结构构成了项目中将要开发的语义分析所覆盖的核心区域。理论框架将由类型驱动的解释提供，它在模态和名义语义方面特别富有成效。

The project INT aims at a clarification of the relationship between different functional types of relative clauses. Extensive and detailed investigations of the interaction of relative clauses with various intensional operations carried out during the first period of funding have led the project to a focus on the following areas of phenomena, which have proved to be particularly instructive: Modalized relative clauses in unspecific indefinites (as in The company is looking for an engineer who ought to be fluent in English) display systematic connections between restrictive and appositive readings. With amount relatives, as particularly prominent in English (We will never be able to drink the champagne they spilt last night) a connection can be made with comparative constructions (Never will the amount of champagne we are able to drink be the amount of champagne they spilt last night). In some environments e.g., concealed exlamatives (Its amazing the people you meet at these conferences) relative clauses, which are normally optional, turn out to be essential for the grammaticality of a construction (Licensing by modification).The above-mentioned constructions form the core area covered by the semantic analyses to be developed within the project. The theoretical framework will be provided by type-driven interpretation, which has been particularly fruitful for modal and nominal semantics.
