Abstract

Abstract Encoding of nominal predication constructions (NPC) is an essential component in typological debates concerning lexical flexibility and parts of speech. This study investigates encoding strategies of NPCs in 65 verb-initial languages from 20 language families. The results indicate that the combinations of a zero strategy and certain other typological features are cross-linguistically disfavored due to non-iconicity. The varying degree of lexical flexibility observed among languages reflects a competition between economy and iconicity, as in many other aspects of linguistic diversity.

名词谓语结构的编码:动词首语的类型学研究
名词谓语结构的编码是词汇灵活性和词性的类型学争论的重要组成部分。本研究对20个语系65种动词开头语言的npc编码策略进行了研究。结果表明,由于非象似性,零策略和某些类型特征的组合在跨语言上是不受欢迎的。语言之间不同程度的词汇灵活性反映了经济性和象似性之间的竞争,就像语言多样性的许多其他方面一样。

期刊介绍: Linguistic Typology provides a forum for all work of relevance to the study of language typology and cross-linguistic variation. It welcomes work taking a typological perspective on all domains of the structure of spoken and signed languages, including historical change, language processing, and sociolinguistics. Diverse descriptive and theoretical frameworks are welcomed so long as they have a clear bearing on the study of cross-linguistic variation. We welcome cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of linguistic diversity, as well as work dealing with just one or a few languages, as long as it is typologically informed and typologically and theoretically relevant, and contains new empirical evidence.
