标题Re: [文法] 外国网友回应中的being adjectives
时间Sat Feb 3 13:35:35 2018
大家好，昨天後来在另一个论坛有後续回应了
https://goo.gl/ta2j7k
不过对於他的回应我有不懂的地方orz
------
针对这句话：
your very best — 'level' and 'best' being adjectives.
(注：上述的'level' and 'best'应该是'level' and 'very'才对，我一开始打错，
导致後来网友回答的引用也跟着错。
後来我有在论坛里说明这个笔误了，所以底下回应中的'best'请自行在脑海中改为'very')
我问：
I don't understand why there is a 'being' there. Is it reduced from
something? Could you tell me its grammar point?
网友Mister Micawber答：
'Being' just heads a non-finite clause complementing 'level' and 'best'.
他举例：
My brother, being an airline pilot, is away from home most of the time.
----------
1.想问的是，上述的head在朗文辞典有两个我认为可能合适的解释：
a. to be in charge of a team, government, organization etc
b. to be at the top of a list or group of people or things
我倾向是第一个解释，也就是「引导、引领」的意思，不知是否正确呢？
2.回答中的complementing 'level' and 'best'指的是a non-finite clause还是
'Being'？
换句话说，指下列的哪一个呢？
a. 'Being' just heads a non-finite clause, and 'Being' complements 'level'
and 'best'.
b. 'Being' just heads a non-finite clause, and the non-finite clause
complements 'level' and 'best'.
('Being' just heads a non-finite clause which complements 'level' and 'best'.)
已经在那边提问了，不过对方还没有回应，因此想先来请教各位。谢谢！

1F：推 l10nel: 1. head是语言学/文法用语,意为"中心词"/"核心" 02/03 14:41
2F：→ l10nel: 2. 从他的写法，宜理解为b.，但他说法有点松， 02/03 14:42
3F：→ l10nel: non-finite clause是整个句子，句子并不会补足 02/03 14:43
4F：→ l10nel: level and best，句子包含了level and best。所以应该说， 02/03 14:43
5F：→ l10nel: "being adjectives"中的adjectives是所谓主词补语，作用在 02/03 14:43
6F：→ l10nel: 补足主词(level and best)使句意完整。being（在finite 02/03 14:44
7F：→ l10nel: 句当中是are）是non-finite子句的中心词。 02/03 14:44
网友回应了，果然l10nel大说的一样，head是语法学的专有名词！
另外第二题的回答，也确实是B！

Head
Definition:
A head is a constituent of an endocentric construction that, if standing
alone, could perform the syntactic function of the whole construction.
It may govern the:
agreement of grammatical categories, such as person and number, or
occurrence of other constituents.
Examples:
(English)
In the following construction, the noun 'chair' heads the noun phrase. It also
determines number on the verb:
The wooden chairs in the corner are finished.
In the following construction, the verb 'given' heads the verb phrase 'would
have given'. It also determines the occurrence of a direct object and indirect
object later in the clause:
Mary would have given Bill a dictionary.
