Russian phrases of the type {rejs ’flight’} London-Berlin: their syntactic structure (toward an inventory of Russian surface-syntactic relations)
摘要
The paper studies Russian phrases of the type {rejs ‘flight’} London-Berlin and a number of syntactically similar phrases—with the goal to specify their surface-syntactic structure and to introduce the surface-syntactic relations that link their components. The starting point being “multiple nominative” construction (Rus. kratnyj imenitel’nyj), it is shown that this construction is a particular case of a much larger and variegated set of phrases—multiple same-form phrases, which come in five varieties (according to their part of speech): N1-N2, NUM1-NUM2, ADJ1-ADJ2, ADV1-ADV2 and V1-V2. A detailed overview of all these phrase types is proposed, showing these phrases on the semantic, the deep-syntactic, the surface-syntactic and the deep-morphological levels of the linguistic representation. Three quasi-coordinative surface-syntactic relations [SSyntRels] are introduced: the purely structural quasi-coordinative SSyntRel and two meaningful ones: the interval-quasi-coordinative and similative-plural-quasi-coordinative SSyntRels, with the corresponding fictitious lexemes.
