In this article various constructions of English with the form A + N are considered, with particular reference to stress patterns. It is shown that there are several such patterns, and that stress patterns do not correlate with fixed effects. It is also argued that a simple division between compound and phrase does not seem to provide a motivation for the patterns found. The patterns seem to be determined partly by factors which are known to influence stress patterns in N + N constructions, and partly by lexical class, though variability in which expression belongs to which class is acknowledged. It is concluded that this is an area of English grammar that needs further research.

黑鸟和蓝鲸:英语 A+N 结构中的重音

在本文中,我们考虑了 A + N 形式的各种英语结构,特别是重音模式。结果表明存在几种这样的模式,并且应力模式与固定效应不相关。还有人认为,复合词和短语之间的简单划分似乎并不能为所发现的模式提供动机。这些模式似乎部分由已知影响 N + N 结构中的重音模式的因素决定,部分由词汇类别决定,尽管表达属于哪个类别的可变性是公认的。得出的结论是,这是一个需要进一步研究的英语语法领域。
