项目摘要

By investigating the semantic and syntactic structures of Japanese and English vocabularies, attempts have been made to develop an integrated theory of the lexicon with emphasis on verbs, nouns, and adjectives. Results are combined into the Project Report which comprises fourteen papers arranged in three parts. In Part I (The Lexicon and Syntax), it is demonstrated, first, that morphological rules apply not only to the lexicon but also to the syntactic component ; second, that there is a special morphological category called "Word Plus" that bridges between words and phrases ; and third, that the so-called argument inheritance is executed by the lexical conceptual structure of verbs and the qualia structure of nouns. In Part II (The Lexicon and the Semantic Structure of Verbs), it is shown that the nature of lexical diathesis alternation lies in semantic operations like anti-causativization, de-causativization, causativization, and locative promotion in lexical conceptual structure, and that the unified representation of physical location and abstract state in lexical conceptual structure provides evidence that language system is independent of psychological perceptions. In Part III (The Lexicon and the Semantic Structure of Nouns and Adjectives), it is suggested that the lexical conceptual structure representation of verbs be incorporated into the qualia structure representations of certain nouns and adjectives. This captures a significant generalization for verb nominalizations and other phenomena. It is also found that English can directly access the Telic and Agentive roles of nouns' qualia structure whereas Japanese refers to the semantic structure only indirectly by way of compounding and other morphological means. The study of nouns and adjectives in this project is admittedly preliminary and sketchy, and needs to be elaborated in the future.

通过调查日本和英语词汇的语义和句法结构，已经尝试开发词汇综合理论，重点是动词，名词和形容词。结果合并到项目报告中，该报告包括十四篇分为三部分的论文。在第一部分（词典和语法）中，首先证明了形态规则不仅适用于词典，而且适用于句法成分。其次，有一个特殊的形态学类别称为“ word plus”，它在单词和短语之间桥接。第三，所谓的参数继承是由动词的词汇概念结构和名词的质量结构执行。在第二部分（词典和动物的语义结构）中，这表明词汇素化的本质在于语义操作，例如抗肿瘤化，de-canusativization，De-ususatiative，Caustatiative，Caustatiative和exical概念结构中的定位促进，以及在词汇概念中的统一位置和摘要概念的统一代表。在第三部分（词典和名词和形容词的语义结构）中，建议将动词的词汇概念结构表示纳入某些名词和形容词的质量结构表示中。这捕获了动词名称和其他现象的重大概括。还发现，英语可以直接访问名词质量结构的伸缩和代理作用，而日本只能通过复合和其他形态学手段间接地涉及语义结构。该项目中对名词和形容词的研究是公认的初步和粗略的，需要在将来详细阐述。
