摘要
本章考察了两个名词的小分句中数字规范的协变,以名词谓语(DP1 BE DP2)的共同分句为例。在一些这样的结构中,DP1和DP2之间的数字匹配是必须的,而在其他结构中则不是。由此产生的两个问题得到了解决:(A) DP1和DP2之间的编号匹配应通过何种正式机制来强制执行?(B)什么决定是否需要匹配?关于(A),本章认为Agree不适合建模这种特征共享关系,并提出当DP2具有未值的数字特征时,数字匹配作为合并时特征估值的反射而出现[_#]。关于(B),提出估值的可用性作为Merge的反射对DP2的特征结构很敏感,并且由于独立的原因,当DP2没有引入可访问的[_#]时,估值的可用性被阻塞。本文审查了三个这样的案例。
This chapter examines covariation in number specification in small clauses with two nominals, as exemplified by copular clauses with a nominal predicate (DP1 BE DP2). Number matching between DP1 and DP2 is obligatory in some such structures, but not others. Two questions arising from this are addressed: (A) By what formal mechanism should number matching between the DP1 and DP2 be enforced? (B) What determines whether matching is required or not? Regarding (A) this chapter argues that Agree is not well-suited for modeling this feature-sharing relation and proposes instead that number matching arises as a reflex of feature-valuation at Merge when DP2 has an unvalued number feature [_#]. Regarding (B), it is proposed that the availability of valuation as a reflex of Merge is sensitive to the feature structure of DP2 and is blocked when, for independent reasons, DP2 does not introduce an accessible [_#]. Three such cases are examined.
