Chinese has the comparative morpheme and the positive morpheme, both of which project in syntax. The covert comparative morpheme is the covert allomorph of the comparative morpheme bǐjiào ‘more’. The covert bǐjiào ‘more’ can only occur in a comparative construction where an overt standard of comparison is syntactically available, but the overt one occurs in a comparative construction where an overt standard of comparison is syntactically unavailable. The positive morpheme also has two allomorphs. One is the unstressed hěn ‘HEN’ and the other is its covert counterpart. The covert one can only occur in a focus sensitive domain where the bare gradable adjective is focus-anchored, but the overt one occurs elsewhere. The covert allomorph, regardless of whether it is the comparative or the positive morpheme, is used to avoid violating the Constraint on Multiple Foci. Accordingly, the proposal of the comparative morpheme and the proposal of the positive morpheme can reinforce each other by establishing a theoretical relationship through the Nonhead Stress rule and the Constraint on Multiple Foci.

汉语中的投射形容词

汉语具有比较语素和正语素，两者都在语法上突出。隐性比较语素是比较语素bǐjiào'more '的隐性同素语素。隐蔽bǐjiào “更多”只能发生在一个比较结构，其中比较的公开标准在语法上是可用的，但在比较结构，其中比较的公开标准在语法上是不可用的公开之一发生。正语素也有两个同素异形。一是无压力的hěn“ HEN”和另一个是它的秘密对应。隐性只能出现在对焦点敏感的域中，在该域中仅对可分级的形容词进行了锚定，而显性域出现在其他位置。隐式同构词素，无论是比较还是正构词素，都用于避免违反“多个焦点约束”。因此，通过基于无头应力规则和对多个焦点的约束建立理论关系，比较语素的提议和正语素的提议可以相互加强。
