Contrastive analysis of the noun phrase structures in Portuguese and Spanish

本文分析了葡萄牙语和西班牙语中有关名词短语的几个重要现象。特别是以生成语法和功能语法为理论基础，结合形态语音学和语义学的观点，对中心名词和所有格形容词所选择的论元的句法地位以及关系分句的句法结构进行了探讨。在地图分析中，我们提出了一个很好的动机结构的名词短语，指定的功能所承担的每一个参数的中心名词。在两种语言的差异方面，我们指出，冠词和所有格代词的特征差异对名词短语的句法结构有很大的影响。

In this study we made an analysis of several important phenomena concerning noun pharases in Portuguese and Spanish. Especially we argued about the syntactic status of the arguments selected by the head noun and that of the possessive adjectives, and the syntactic structure of the relative clauses, based on such syntactic theories as the generative grammar and the functional grammar, incorporating morphophonological and semantic points of view. We presented a well motivated structure of noun phrases in the cartographic analysis, specifying the function assumed by each argument of the head noun. As for the diversities between these two languages, we showed that the characteristic differences of articles and possessive pronouns have great effects on the syntax of noun phrases.
