准定语句是汉语中的一种特殊句式，具有形义错配性、与动词拷贝句的内在关联性、歧义性、非强制性及参数变异性等5种特征，其中以形义错配性最为突出，因而受到学界广泛关注。文章在分布式形态学理论框架下，通过“特征拷贝”和“特征引入”等句法后操作对由句法推导而来的结构进行修饰性调整，从而较好地统一解释准定语句的上述特征。这一分析在理论上更加自然，无需特设结构层次，与最简方案框架下的词汇阵列、语段推导等主流思想保持了一致。%As a special sentence pattern in Chinese,clauses with quasi-attributives (CQA)have five major properties:the mismatch between form and meaning,CQA’s intrinsic link with verb-copy-ing clauses,the ambiguity between quasi-attributives and real attributives,the optional presence of“de”,and parametric variability.Among these properties,the form-meaning mismatch has drawn wide attention from researchers due to its linguistic distinctiveness.In the framework of Distributed Morphology,we propose that postsyntactic operations such as Feature Copying and Feature Introduc-tion may modify the structure generated by syntax,inducing the apparent mismatch.This approach not only captures the five characteristics of CQAs,but also eliminates some ad hoc stipulations com-mon in many existing accounts.Moreover,our proposal is shown to be in line with ideas from the Minimalist Program,such as the lexical array and derivation by phase.
