Abstract

The clitic pronoun ne and the functional element de introducing nominal constituents have many nominal and prepositional functions across Romance languages. In this article, we focus on the nominal functions, singling out three different bundles of semantic features that characterize both ne and de. They can denote properties of individual entities, properties of kinds, or predicate properties. The article shows that Catalan ne and de display the three types of denotation, while Italian ne and de only display the first one. This article further supports the hypothesis that the indefinite determiner de can be overt or silent, thereby unifying de-phrases (and the Italian partitive article) with bare nouns. The analysis of de as an indefinite determiner is then extended to adjectival de, which is claimed to mark concord features on adjectives in both Catalan and Italian.

加泰罗尼亚语和意大利语中的属性标记词 ne 和定语 de/di：比较分析

在罗曼语中，引入名词性成分的关系代词 ne 和功能元素 de 具有多种名词性和介词性功能。在本文中，我们将重点讨论名词性功能，挑出三组不同的语义特征，它们都是 ne 和 de 的特征。它们可以表示单个实体的属性、种类的属性或谓词的属性。文章表明，加泰罗尼亚语 ne 和 de 显示了这三种类型的指称，而意大利语 ne 和 de 只显示了第一种类型的指称。本文进一步支持这样的假设，即不定定语 de 可以是显性的或无声的，从而将去定语（和意大利语的偏正定语）与光名词统一起来。然后，将 de 作为不定定语的分析扩展到形容词 de 上，称加泰罗尼亚语和意大利语中的形容词 de 都具有协和特征。

期刊介绍： Linguistics publishes articles in the traditional subdisciplines of linguistics as well as in neighboring disciplines insofar as these are deemed to be of interest to linguists and other students of natural language. This includes grammar, both functional and formal, with a focus on morphology, syntax, and semantics, pragmatics and discourse, phonetics and phonology, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics. The focus may be on one or several languages, but studies with a wide crosslinguistic (typological) coverage are also welcome. The perspective may be synchronic or diachronic. Linguistics also publishes up to two special issues a year in these areas, for which it welcomes proposals.
