ABSTRACT

This study focused on the syntactic function of the “NP+de+VP” structure (syntactic distribution), to examine when we put this dependent structure into a larger syntactic structure, what kind of syntactic position that can take, what kind of syntactic and semantic constrains exist with its related components. Then, from the structure of the external features and characteristics come back to see the internal construction and the originate of the structure. In other words, through this structure’s external features and limited options, test the two viewpiont about that construction of its structure and sources ; (1) the predicate component “VP” of the “NP+de+VP” is first nomialized, then by structural modification “de”, constitute the nominal-modified structure. This theoretical assumption can be called “The partial nominalization viewpoint”. (2)“NP+de+VP” is a nominalization form by inserting the nominalizational marker de in the subject-predicate construction, rather than an endocentric construction in which the predicate component “VP” not nominalized. This theoretical assumption can be called “The whole nominalization viewpoint”. Finally, this study found the “The whole nominalization viewpoint” of the structure is more logically consistent, more in line with the language fact than “The partial nominalization viewpoint”.
