不好意思， 请问一下各位高手， 在葛瑞老师的书中说以下七个画底线的词语中， race riots 和 a bill 展现的是 "unreferentiality"， 其他的都是"referentiality"。 请问高手们为什麽是这样呢？ 我查了书和网站，还是悟不出背後的道理。 有请高手开示了，感谢~ <<Identify each of the underlined NPs in terms of its (A) definiteness, (B) referentiality, and (C) thematic role.>> We have known race riots, draft riots, labor violence, secession, ========== anti-war protests, and a whiskey rebellion, but one kind of trouble we've never had: a language riot. On August I of last year the U.S. House or Representatives approved ================================= a bill that would make English the official languageof the United States. The ====== vote was 259 to 169, with 223 Republicans and thirty-six Democrats voting in favor and eight Republicans, 160 Democrats, and one Independent voting =============== against. The debate was intense, acrid and partisan. On March 25 of last year the Supreme Court agreed to review a case involving an Arizona law that would require public employees to conduct government business only in English. ================ Arizona is one of several states that have passed "Official English" or ============== "English Only" laws. The appeal to the Supreme Court followed a 6-to-5 ================= ruling, in October of 1995, by a federal appeals court striking down the Arizona law. These events suggest how divisive a public issue language could become in America-even it has until now scarecely been taken seriously.
