Lin, Jo-wang 2024 名物化與「的」字結構 [Nominalization and de-constructions]: 談轉指與自指 [On shift and self designation structures] Language and Linguistics 25:3, pp. 453–495 | Article

本文討論朱德熙先生的名詞性標記「的3」，並對他提出的轉指和自指概念作更為深入的形式語意分析。文章首先釐清結構轉指與語境刪略分屬兩類不同語法現象。前者是在「X的」結構裡，對X裡的缺位成分抽象化為個體特徵後，再以iota算子把個體特徵轉化成為個體的語法過程，轉指過程不涉任何中心語名詞或空號代詞，是「X的」結構本身把陳述轉為稱代的語法操作。語境刪略則是「X的N」結構中，中心語名詞N因為語境可復原而將N刪略的現象，此時X可能有缺位成分或是沒有缺位成分。無缺位成分的是自指結構的「X的」，其偽轉指現象牽涉的是中心語名詞的語境刪略。此外，本文提出自指的「X的」與事件屬性名詞N組合時， read more

I show that problems such as lack of… read more

Huang, C.-T. James and Jo-wang Lin 2021 Chapter 9. Quantifictional binding without surface c-command in Mandarin Chinese Current Issues in Syntactic Cartography: A crosslinguistic perspective, Si, Fuzhen and Luigi Rizzi (eds.), pp. 183–216 | Chapter

This article discusses quantificational binding without surface c-command in Mandarin Chinese. Jin (1998) pointed out that Chinese quantificational NPs (Q-NPs) headed by mei ‘every’ are capable of binding out of containers such as sentential subjects, relative clauses or adverbial clauses and… read more

Lin, Jo-wang 2014 The adjective of quantity duo ‘many/much’ and differential comparatives in Mandarin Chinese International Journal of Chinese Linguistics 1:2, pp. 163–191 | Article

This article discusses differential comparatives involving the adjective of quantity duo ‘many/much’ in Mandarin Chinese. We show that the obligatory construal of a post-adjectival duo-phrase as a differential phrase rather than a degree modifier is due to the interaction of four factors: (i)… read more
