초록
The conflicting syntactic and semantic properties of the expression such give a challenge to most grammatical treatments. Based on a careful corpus examination, we attempt to provide a uniform treatment in which such is taken to be a `functor' selecting its grammatical dependents. We claim that its different uses thus hinge on how these dependents are realized. It is true that every language employs a limited set of lexical categories and constructions, but there exist also many lexical expressions whose distributions cannot be pinned down to only one peculiar lexical category. The multi-function of such implies that grammar (or language learners) not only refers to lexical categories, but also utilizes grammatical functions.
Abstract
The conflicting syntactic and semantic properties of the expression such give a challenge to most grammatical treatments. Based on a careful corpus examination, we attempt to provide a uniform treatment in which such is taken to be a `functor' selecting its grammatical dependents. We claim that its different uses thus hinge on how these dependents are realized. It is true that every language employs a limited set of lexical categories and constructions, but there exist also many lexical expressions whose distributions cannot be pinned down to only one peculiar lexical category. The multi-function of such implies that grammar (or language learners) not only refers to lexical categories, but also utilizes grammatical functions.
