标题[请益] "ever"的树图
时间Fri Jul 22 23:46:58 2011
在解题的时候碰到一个有关ever的用法的问题,其中他先给ever的用法说明如下:
“Ever” cannot normally occur in positive sentence.
“Ever” is an adjectival expression (ADVP) which occurs as an immediate
constituent of S. in negative sentences, “ever” must be preceded and
c-commanded by a negative constituent (e.g. by a negative Modal, or by a Noun
Phrase containing the negative Determiner “no” as one of its immediate
constituents.
然後给了一个ungrammatic的句子,要画树图来解题。
Q:
*Some Frenchmen would help no Englishman ever
我画的图感觉怪怪的,我是这样画的:
S
/ | \
/ M \
/ | \
NP would \
| VP
Some Frenchmen / \
/ \
V NP
| / \
help / \
/ \
no Englishman \
\
ADVP
|
ADV
|
ever
如果是长这样的话,
no Englishman c-commands ever!!!
不就合他的规则了吗?
有请高手指点一下!谢谢!
