enough为什么是中位限定词?有哪些enough+后位限定词/前位限定词+enough的例句吗?
我似乎没见到过enough 做中位限定词这一规则在例句中的体验。
传统语法把名词前修饰名词的enough分析为形容词。现代语法把名词前表示特指/泛指以及数/量意义的词分析为限定词。例如牛津词典就把复数名词及不可数名词前的enough分析为限定词,把作主语、宾语、表语的enough分析为代词,把修饰动词、形容词、副词的enough分析为副词。章振邦的语法书采用的是现代语法体系,所以其书中把enough分析为限定词是没有问题的。至于说enough为中位限定词,那是因为英语为母语的人不会把名词前的enough和其他中位限定词连用。我们知道中位限定词是互相排斥的,即一个名词词组中最多只能用一个中位限定词。I don't have the enough money to buy a car. 为错误,必须删去中位限定词the, I don't have enough money to buy a car. 如果一定要表示名词特指,则可以说,I don't have the money enough to buy a car. 此时enough就不是限定词了,而是代词,句子等于 I don't have the money that is enough to buy a car. (传统语法把enough分析为形容词,现代语法把作表语的enough分析为代词)。至此你就可以知道,之所以作为限定词enough为中位限定词,是因为它不可以和其它中位限定词同用。反过来说,章振邦告诉你enough是中位限定词,就是告诉你enough用在名词前的时候,enough前是不可以用任何其它中位限定词的。有了这个知识,如果偶尔你在阅读外刊是遇到the/a + enough+名词,你就会知道该文的作者的母语一定不是英语,在enough前错误的使用了冠词。例如下面COCA语料库的例句
The Europeans or Americans will not do the enough cuts to shrink government much at all.
A bad credit score is frequently caused by devoid of the enough cash to settle the debts that are attached to everyday living and spend monthly strong debits or unpaid bills.
Situation was ripe with the enough potential to cause much disturbances in the metro on larger than the previous scale.
这些句子中的中位限定词the 都是使用错误,应该删去的。
