Title: 论法律文本中“权利”和“权力”的表述和翻译

Authors: Li, Kexing (李克興)

Abstract: 本文专门对比研究英文法律条文、合同条款中出现频率极高的与“权利/力”有关的各种表述方式，目的是为了让在汉语环境下写作英文法律文本的作者和汉译英的译者能更加准确地掌握这一极其重要的法律概念的表述方式。汉语中的“有权”在法律英文中表达方式众多，因为“有权”可以指权利、利益、特权、权力、权限或代理权等。如何准确地表达这些非常近似但又有微妙差别的概念呢？笔者用大量的选自权威双语法律文本中的例子, 揭示了这些权利/力概念的准确表达方式。

Title: 形容词与名词的语义组合模型研究 = A semantic construction model between adjectives and nouns in Chinese

Authors: Zhao, Chunli (趙春利); Shi, Dingxu Tim (石定栩)

Abstract: 该文首先针对传统方法研究形名组合的不足,提出了理解形名组合的基本语义模式,即事物、属性值和属性域;其次,根据形名组合的理解模式和语料库的调查,从哲学理论和语言事实角度,把名词各自分成了主体、事体、物体、时空、逻辑五个次类,把形容词分成了主体、事体、物体、时空和评价五个次类;最后,借助于计算语言学的研究思想和语义语法的理论原则,构建了形容词次类与名词次类间语义匹配的形名语义组合模型。研究结果表明该形名语义组合模型能深入细致地揭示形容词与名词的组合规律。; Based on the analyses of the disadvantages of the traditional probing of the Adjective-Noun constructions, this paper first puts forward a basic semantic model of "thing, attribute value and attribute domain" for understanding this construction. Then, according to the basic semantic model and the investigation of the corpus, it suggests to classify the noun into 5 sub-groups of subjects, events, objects, space & time, and logical nouns, and the adjectives into 5 sub-groups of subjective, eventual, objective, spatial & temporal, and evaluation. Finally, the semantic construction model between sub-classes of the noun and the adjective is established in linght of the computational linguistic scheme and the theoretical principles of the semantic grammar. The research result proves this model to be effective in revealing the rules between nouns and adjectives construction.

Title: 谓词性宾语的句法地位 = The syntactic status of verbal objects

Authors: Shi, Dingxu Tim (石定栩)

Abstract: 谓词性成分在充当宾语时会有不同的句法表现,文献中常提到的是有些谓宾可以用"什么"来提问,而有些谓宾只能用"怎(么)样"来提问。一般都认为可以用"什么"提问的谓宾已经"事物化"了,而用"怎样"提问的则保留了谓词的地位。事实上"什么"和"怎样"的对立与词类地位无关,而是同提问对象的句法地位相关。能够用"怎样"提问的谓宾实际上是宾语小句的谓语,本身并不具有宾语的地位,而真正的谓词性宾语只能用"什么"提问。根据带宾语动词的句法特性,可以将谓词性宾语进一步分为名词化了的和名物化了的两种。; Chinese verbal phrases can function as objects and that these objects have different syntactic behaviors.It is often assumed that some of the verbal objects,which can be replaced by shenme "what"in question formation,have been nominalized while others,which can only be replaced by zenyang "how",have retained their verbal status.However,there is strong evidence that the contrast between shenme "what" and zenyang "how" is determined by the syntactic function of the constituents being replaced but not by their part of speech status. The verbal objects that can be replaced by zeyang "how" are actually the predicate of the object clauses and they themselves are not objects.

Title: 状位情感形容词与述位动词结构同现的原则 = Some principles on the co-occurrence of affective adjectives and verbal-constructions

Authors: Zhao, Chunli (趙春利); Shi, Dingxu Tim (石定栩)

Abstract: 本文分别考察并验证在状中偏正结构中,状位情感形容词与述位动词结构间所形成的果因、因果和并行三种语义关系类型,并基于不同的语义关系类型,分别探讨动词结构的语义类别、语义特征及其句法标记。并由此认为,语义特征决定语义关系,而语义特征如何体现则受制于句法结构。; This paper verified that there were three types of semantic relations such as effect-cause,cause-effect and parallel between affective adjectives as adverbial and verb-constructions(VCs) as predicate.Based on different types of semantic relations,the paper discussed the semantic categories,semantic features and syntactic marks of the VCs.It can be said that the semantic features dominate the semantic relationships,and the expressions of the semantic features are subject to the exercise of syntactic structure.
