AbstractThis paper considers the NP vs. DP debate from the perspective of dependency grammar (DG). The message is delivered that given DG assumptions about sentence structure, the traditional NP-analysis of nominal groups is preferable over the DP-analysis. The debate is also considered from the perspective of phrase structure grammar (PSG). While many of the issues discussed here do not directly support NP over DP given PSG assumptions, some do. More importantly, one has to accept the widespread presence of null determiner heads for the DP analysis to be plausible on PSG assumptions. The argument developed at length here is that the traditional NP-analysis of nominal groups is both more accurate and simpler than the DP-analysis, in part because it does not rely on the frequent occurrence of null determiners.

NPs, not DPs:依存语法背景下的 NP 与 DP 辩论

摘要本文从依存语法(DG)的角度考虑了 NP 与 DP 的争论。传递的信息是,给定关于句子结构的 DG 假设,名义组的传统 NP 分析优于 DP 分析。辩论也是从短语结构语法(PSG)的角度来考虑的。虽然这里讨论的许多问题在 PSG 假设下并不直接支持 NP over DP,但有些问题确实如此。更重要的是,人们必须接受广泛存在的空确定器头部,DP 分析才能在 PSG 假设上合理。这里详细阐述的论点是,名义组的传统 NP 分析比 DP 分析更准确和更简单,部分原因是它不依赖于空确定符的频繁出现。
