Abstract This manuscript examines various types of bracketing paradoxes: classical “personal noun” constructions, parasynthetic compounds, agentive deverbal nouns, compound denominal adjectives, plural nouns with lexicalized modifiers, multiple auxiliary constructions, and German particle verb constructions. We argue that given a dependency-based view of both sentence and word structure, these bracketing puzzles become non-paradoxical. The morph catena is taken to be the fundamental unit of morphosyntax. A morph catena is A MORPH OR A COMBINATION OF MORPHS THAT ARE CONTINUOUS WITH RESPECT TO DOMINANCE. This notion is derived from its syntactic equivalent, the catena, which is defined as a word or a combination of words that are continuous with respect to dominance. Given an understanding of morphosyntax that acknowledges morph catenae, bracketing paradoxes are resolved by the ability of morph catenae to reach across words to include parts of words.

括号悖论：关于变形链的依赖文法分析

摘要 这份手稿研究了各种类型的括号悖论：经典的“人称名词”结构、副合成复合词、代理动词名词、复合名词形容词、带有词汇化修饰语的复数名词、多重辅助结构和德语助词动词结构。我们认为，鉴于句子和单词结构的基于依赖的观点，这些括号谜题变得不自相矛盾。变形链被认为是形态句法的基本单位。变形链是相对于支配地位连续的变形或变形的组合。这个概念来源于它的句法等价物，catena，它被定义为一个单词或单词的组合，这些单词在支配性方面是连续的。
