26、，194-195页）例如偏正结构（包括定语加中心语的名词性偏正结构和状语加中心语的谓词性偏正结构）的语法功能跟它的后一个直接成分（中心语）相同，述宾结构和述补结构的语法功能都跟它的前一个直接成分（述语）相同，所以都是向心结构。主谓结构的语法功能跟它的两个直接成分（主语和谓语）都不一样，所以是离心结构。所有由虚词组成的句法结构如介词结构，“的”字结构等等也都是离心结构。联合结构的语法功能跟它的每一项组成成分都相同，是一种多核心的向心结构，布龙姆菲尔德管它叫并列式向心结构（co-ordinativeendocentricconstruction）。第35页/共101页36布氏向心/离心结构理论的一

27、些问题：1布氏的理论本身并不是完美无缺的。这一点布氏本人已经有所认识。并非所有的向心结构其整体功能都与中心语或核心完全一致，因此“向心/离心”结构理论即使就英语来说也不是一种能够覆盖所有合成短语的分析模式。2可以这样理解向心/离心结构理论：在一个AB结构体中，如果AB的整体功能和其中的某个成分一致，那AB就是向心结构。否则为离心结构。跟整体功能一致的成分就是结构核心。这个理解在汉语中碰到了麻烦，“雷锋精神”成为双核心的向心结构，“这本书的出版”中“出版”变成了结构核心。如果从结构上来考虑，所有的结构都是向心结构。如果从功能上来考虑就有两种情况，一种是结构核心和整体功能一致的结构，另一种是结构核

28、心和整体功能不一致的结构。主谓短语、动宾短语在结构上都是向心的，但是在功能上则不是向心的。至于叫他什么，那就无所谓了。第36页/共101页372.4CoordinationandSubordinationEndocentricconstructionsfallintotwomaintypes,dependingontherelationbetweenconstituents:Coordinationsubordination第37页/共101页38Coordination并列结构CoordinationisacommonsyntacticpatterninEnglishandotherlang
