量化定語的參數化與「內含主要語的關係子句」

Parametrization of Quantificational Determiners and Head-Internal Relatives

本文將定語的類型分為兩類，一類參與「屬性檢核」(feature checking)的運作，另一類則可作為「非選擇約束語」(unselective binder)。本文指出，「內含主要語的關係子句」(head-internal relative clauses, HIRC) 的語言類型依定語的類型而有不同。同時，由於HIRC 的語法與wh-in-situ 的語法有關連，本文也探討了定語參數化跟wh-in-situ 的性質。

This paper proposes that there are two types of determiners, one making use of feature checking and the other relying on binding. The typology of headinternal relative clauses (HIRC) is shown to be sensitive to this parametrization of quantificational determiners. Since the syntax of HIRC is generally correlated with that of wh-in-situ, it will also be claimed that the parametrization of determiners affects the properties of wh-in-situ as well.
