内容简介

《汉语名词动用中的句法机制研究》内容简介：Chinese denominal verbs (DNVs for short) are amenable to an L-syntactic analysis, which is accommodated in a theoretical framework that comprises an overt syntactic operation and two light syntactic categories. The former is V-bar pied-piping, i.e. the head V, when it raises, may optionally pied-pipe its Complement, but stranding the Specifier of its Complement. The operation works as an alternative to the standard way for verb movement under certain licensing conditions and enjoys extensive empirical support. The latter includes proto-verbs,which we separate from categories such as the CFC v and auxiliary verbs, and null prepositions, which, in our argument, may mediate between an intransitive verb and a nominal phrase following it.
