Abstract
Previous works have explored the options of Pair Merging R and v as well as T and C, respectively, yielding R‐v and T‐C with various consequences. This paper proposes that v and T can yield the complex head v‐T, an amalgam formed by external Pair Merge. Some empirical ramifications for the verb cluster and the middle field in German are explored. If tenable, the current approach supports the idea that heads can Merge freely, either by internal or external Set Merge, as well as by internal or by external Pair Merge.
以往的研究分别探讨了 R 和 v 以及 T 和 C 的配对合并方案,得出了 R-v 和 T-C,结果各不相同。本文提出,v 和 T 可以产生复合词头 v-T,这是一个由外部配对合并形成的混合体。本文探讨了德语动词群和中间域的一些经验性影响。如果可行的话,目前的方法支持了这样一种观点,即词头可以自由合并,既可以通过内部或外部集合合并,也可以通过内部或外部成对合并。
