Abstract

Future research could profitably explore the hypothesis that syntactic categories should be eliminated from linguistic theory and their work taken over largely by the independently motivated system of semantic types. This would be a notable gain in theoretical economy, provided that their elimination does not necessitate innovations of equivalent complexity elsewhere in the theory.

消除句法类别的程序

未来的研究可以探讨这样一个假设，即句法范畴应该从语言理论中删除，其工作主要由独立的语义类型系统接管，这将是有益的。这将显著提高理论的经济性，前提是取消句法范畴并不意味着必须在理论的其他地方进行同等复杂程度的创新。
