Abstract

Aoun and Li (2003) argued that whether the head of Chinese relative clauses can reconstruct at Logical Form is determined by its phrasal category. When the head is a noun phrase, it can reconstruct; but when it is a quantifier phrase, it cannot. This paper uses a sentence-picture matching experiment to investigate this claim. The results showed that a quantifier phrase can reconstruct. Thus, we do not need to stipulate a noun phrase/quantifier phrase distinction for the reconstruction of heads in Chinese relative clauses. Both types of phrases can reconstruct, predicted by the head-raising analysis of relative clauses.

汉语相对从句中头量词短语重构的实验方法
Aoun 和 Li(2003)认为,汉语关系从句的句头能否在逻辑形式上重构是由其词性决定的。当句首是名词性短语时,它可以重构;但当句首是量词性短语时,它就不能重构。本文使用句子-图片匹配实验来研究这一说法。结果表明,量词短语可以重构。因此,在汉语相对从句中重构词头时,我们不需要区分名词短语和量词短语。两种类型的短语都可以重构,这是相对从句的举头分析所预测的。
