An attributive adjective refers to an adjective that modifies a noun and stands either before or after the noun in a noun phrase. An

predicative adjective refers to an adjective that can modify a noun by way of serving as a subject complement or an object complement．(修 饰语形容词指用来修饰名词,可放名词前或名词后的形容词。补语形容词指通 过用作主语补足语或宾语补足语来修饰名词的形容词。)

2. When adjectives are used in the dynamic sense, what are their syntactic and

semantic features? 当形容词表示动态意义时，其句法特征和语义特征是什么? When adjectives are used in the dynamic sense，their syntactic features are to denote subjective measurement or suggest a temporary state; and their semantic features are that the qualities denoted by the adjectives can be controlled or restricted.(当形容词用作动态意义时，其句法特征是表示主观评定或暂时情况，其语义特征是形容词表示的特征能被控制或限制。) 3.What are restrictive adjectives and non-restrictive adjectives? 限制性形容词和非限制形容词各指什么?

A restrictive adjective helps identify the referent of the noun by describing its distinctive qualities．Whereas a non—restrictive adjective merely provides some additional information which is usually not essential for the identification of the referent．(限制性形容词通过描述与众不同的特征来识别名词所指的对象.非限制性形容词仅仅提供一些额外信息，而这些信息不是识别名词所指对象的根本。)

二、 重要概念

1. 解释表示空间关系的介词静态及动态使用方法?

17

We use prepositions to indicate the place where someone or

something is，or the place where an action occurs．This distinction may also be regarded as one between the static use and the dynamic use of

prepositions，the former related with static location and the latter with movement with respect to an intended direction．(我们用介词表示某人或某

物所在的位置，或者某个动作发生的位置。其区别在于介词的静态使用和动态使用。

Chapter 11

Coordination and Subordination

(第十一章 并列与从属)

一、 难点、重点

并列和从属是连接句子的两个手段。并列是靠并列连词(coordinating conjunctions)实现的，它把同一层次的几个单位连接起来。从属是靠从属连词(subordinating conjunctions)实现的，它把不同层次的几个单位连接起来，从而形成了一个等级(主从关系)。 2. And具有多种功能,如：

a. The professor went into the classroom，opened his notebook，and started the

lecture．教授走进教室，打开笔记本，然后开始讲课。 (and表示先后顺序，然后，其后)

b. He heard his dog bark at door，and he looked out of the window only to find that

his house was surrounded by a large crowd of angry people．他听到狗冲门叫，于是朝窗外看，发现他的房子被愤怒的群众包围了。(and = therefore表因果) c. Work harder and you?ll pass the test．如果努力学习，考试就会及格。 (= If you work harder，you?11 pass the test．and表条件)

d. Liz is talkative and her husband is reserved． (and = but表对照) e. English is difficult to learn，and so is French． (and表相似性)

f. He is a chain smoker，and he stinks all over．他是一支接一支抽烟的人，浑身是烟

味。(and表另外)

g. She ran and ran until she was out of breath．她跑啊跑直到跑得上气不接下气。(and

表示重复或连续)

18

3. 0r也可用在一些固定表达法中，or仍然引出一个选择：

a. Clean up the mess，or else! 你好好弄干净了，否则给你好看!(or else用作威胁) b. You may stay here for a day or two． (or two大约，至少，或多一些)

c. The tribe was called Milwaukee or something． (or something或什么的，表说话

者不肯定) 三、典型考题 简答题

1. What is the difference between coordination and subordination?

Coordination is typically realized by coordinators which join units at

the same, level, whereas subordination realized by subordinators, involves the linking of units at different levels so that they form a hierarchy. The difference between coordination and subordination also lies in the amount of importance the speaker wishes to attach to the joined constituents. (并列是靠并列连接词实现的,它把同一层次的各个成分连

接起来。而从属是由从属连接词实现的，它把不同层次的各个成分连接起来从而形 成一个等级。并列和从属的区别还在于说话人对构成成分的重视程度不同)

2. What are the major types of finite and non-finite subordinate clauses?

限定从属分句和非限定从属分句的主要形式是什么?

The major types of finite subordinate clause are relative clause，

adverbial clause and nominal clause．The major types of non—finite

subordinate clause are infinitive clause，—ing participle clause and—ed

participle clause and verbless clause．(限定从属分句的主要形式有关系分句，状语分句和名词性分句。非限定从属分句的形式有不定式分句，以—ing结尾的分词分句，以—ed结尾的分词分句和无动词分句)

Chapter 12 Relative Clause (第十二章 关系分句)

难点、重点

(限制性关系分句与非限制性关系分句在形式上有很大区别。首先，非限制性关系分句在

书写上用逗号隔开，在讲话中，语调上轻微停顿和前后程度明显变化。而限制性关系分句却没有这样的特征，关系词的选择也是两种关系分句的区别。如果分句是用关系词that或者根本不用关系词引导，那么此句肯定是限制性关系分句。然而，如果用which或以wh—开头的词引导，那么此句或者是限制性的或者是非限制性的。注意：that不能用于非限制性关系分句。

两种关系分句在功能上也有很大不同。限制性关系分句是名词词组不可分割的一部

分并且为确认先行项的所指对象提供了必不可少的信息。相反，非限制性关系分句 仅仅提供额外信息，这不是识别我们正在谈论的这个人或物的必要信息。因此，这 种信息可以省略，但并不严重地影响对整个句子的理解)

2. Illustrate a nominal antecedent that only accepts the restrictive relative clause and one that only accepts the non-restrictive relative clause.

用例子解释只能接受限制性关系分句的名词性先行词和只能接受非限制性关系分句的名词性先行词。

Antecedents that only accept the restrictive relative clause typically

include nouns or pronouns with unspecified reference--indefinites such as all, any, some, every, no, etc, and compounds.

e. g 1. The lady who lives next door is now traveling in Thailand. (noun

19

as the antecedent) .

2. All that glitters is not gold. (indefinites as an antecedent)

3. No one who has ever visited the town will fail to be impressed by its local delicacies. (compound as antecedent

Proper nouns as antecedents co-occur almost exclusively with non-

restrictive relative clause.

e. g 4. St. Paul' s Cathedral, which the guide was referring to, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. (St. Paul's Cathedral is a proper noun)

(只接受限制性关系分句，非常典型的先行词包括名词、不定代词以及复合词。例1是名词作先行词，例2是不定代词作先行词，例3是复合词作先行词。 专有名词作为先行项可接受非限制性关系分句。例4是专有名词作为先行词)

3. he double relative clause and the embedded relative clause 嵌入式关系分句 (1) He met a lady who he was sure was his new teacher.

(2) Mr. Wang is the only businessman who I know offers fair prices (3) Mr. Wang is the only businessman I know who offers fair prices

句(3)中有两个关系分句,一个套着一个;句(1)、(2)各只有一个关系分句,其本身嵌在一个分句中.所以（1）、（2）为嵌入式关系分句 一、 重要概念

The relative clause: it is defined as a clausal modifier, restrictive or non-restrictive, used to

modify a preceding construction, most often a preceding noun or noun phrase.

关系分句，无论是限制性关系分句还是非限制性关系分句，都是用来修饰一个先行结构,

而名词或名词词组是最常见的先行结构从句型修饰语。 三、典型考题 简答题

1. What kind of relative clause do we normally use to modify a non-nominal

antecedent?

我们通常使用哪种关系分句去修饰非名词性先行词?

We normally use non-restrictive relative clause to modify a non-nominal

antecedent．(我们通常用非限制性关系分句修饰非名词先行项)

2. List the conditions we need to take into consideration when we choose a relative pronoun? 当我们选关系词时，需要考虑的条件是什么?

We need to take three conditions into consideration．

(1)the relation of the relative clause to its antecedent：restrictive or non-restrictive; (2)the gender type of the antecedent：personal or non- personal;(3)the function of the relative pronoun as subject，object，or

complement.(当我们选择关系词时,需要考虑以下三个条件条件(1)关系分句与先行词的

关系,即限制性的或非限制性的;(2)先行项的所指意义,即指人还是指物;(3)关系词在分句中的成分，即主语,宾语,补语等)

3. Explain the difference between a double relative clause and an embedded relative clause? 解释双重关系分句与嵌入式关系分句的不同点。

Double relative clause can be easily confused with embedded relative

clause because of their seemingly identical structure．However，there is a difference between them．In double relative clause，there are two

relative clauses，one enclosing the other，whereas in embedded relative clause there is only one relative clause which itself is embedded in a clause．(双重关系分句与嵌入式关系分句在结构上颇为相似，很容易混淆。但它们之间
