In Chinese poetic language, many bound morphemes may be used freely as independent words, which is obviously a violation of a well-known rule that specifies the function of bound morphemes as word-formation units rather than as syntactic constituents. It has been demonstrated in this article that free usage of bound morphemes is subject to various restrictions: the morphemes can only carry on the those typical syntactic functions but not non-typical functions of the original words from which they are derived by reduction; they cannot undergo the syntactic operations that the original words often undergo; those morphemes cannot be used independently as answers to questions, and only the head morpheme in a compound word can be used freely. It has also been argued that such three factors as prosodic requirement, de-familiarization pursuit of poetic language, and the stylistic elegancy attendance of poems together may account for the innovative exception of free usage of bound morphemes in poetic language as one of three type of ‘special linguistic zone’. |
