在本文1中，我们对澳大利亚语言中格标记语素的功能进行了统一的描述。中心的观察是，这样的语素可能在许多句法层面上运作。因此，例如，它们可以用来将名词短语中的名词与其他名词联系起来，将名词短语与从句中的谓词联系起来，以及将从句与复句中的其他从句联系起来。由此可见，词可以在不同的层面上由格语素多次屈折，表明它们在句法成分中的作用。正如我们在本文中所展示的，这种多层格标记法在澳大利亚语言中普遍存在，并遵循一般模式。然而，它在任何特定语言中可能出现的程度取决于给定的格谓词可能的论元的语法单位以及语言特定的标记约定和语素序列约束。在本介绍性部分的其余部分中，我们概述了格函数的类型(1.1)。然后，我们描述了在特定语言中管理大小写标记的顺序和范围的约定的范围(1.2)。语素顺序约束的讨论紧跟在正文中对格标记功能的详细描述之后。2.
In this paper1 we develop a unified description of the functions of case-marking morphemes in Australian languages. The central observation is that such morphemes may operate at a number of syntactic levels. Thus, for example, they may function to relate nominals to other nominals within noun phrases, noun phrases to predicates within clauses, and clauses to other clauses within complex sentences. It follows from this that words may be multiply inflected with case morphemes indicating their role in syntactic constituents at different levels. As we show in this paper, such multi-level case-marking is widespread in Australian languages and follows general patterns. However, the extent to which it may occur in any particular language depends on what grammatical units are possible arguments of given" case predicates" and on language specific marking conventions and morpheme sequence constraints.In the remainder of this introductory section we outline a typology of case functions (1.1). We then describe the range of conventions which govern the ordering and extent of case-marking in particular languages (1.2). Discussion of morpheme sequence constraints follows the detailed description of case-marking functions in the body of the paper. 2
