兩者不同之處:
Endocentric construction向心結構
Endocentric construction is a construction whose distribution is functionally equivalentto one of its constituents, which serves as the center or head of the whole.
至少有一個直接成分跟整體的語法功能相同的結構叫向心結構。
簡而言之,向心結構指的是有中心詞,在功能上代替整個結構。
例如:a young woman, 中心詞為woman
Exocentric construction 離心結構
Exocentric construction refers to a group of syntactically related words where none of the words is functionally equivalent to the group as a whole,that is,there is no definable “Centre” or “Head” inside the group, usually including the basic sentence, the prepositional phrase, the predicate construction, and the connective construction.
所有的直接成分都跟整體的語法功能不同的結構叫離心結構。
簡而言之,離心結構指的是沒有明顯的中心詞,沒有一個詞代替整體語法功能。
例如:on the table
