标题: 一个经常让我们犯错的语法点

先用一个例子

21.   At the time of the Mexican agrarian revolution, the most radical faction, that of Zapata and his followers, proposed a return to communal ownership of land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards.

(A) land, to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards

(B) land, a form of ownership of the pre-Columbians and respected by the Spaniards

(C) land, respected by the Spaniards and a pre-Columbian form of ownership

(D) land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the SpaniardsA

(E) land that had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards

答案为A,现在没有疑问了。但是我想问问D中以前的讨论帖说that指代land,犯了指代不清的错误,问题是A of B that是可以指代A的,也可以指代B。我觉得这点我常出错,明明AB是都可以指代的,为什么经常又说造成了AB指代的歧义呢?

同意楼主的意见

定从的指代,A of B 结构,可以指代A或者B

原句中用的ownership的同位语,(btw,是G偏爱的形式),这层意思先要清楚。不能随意改变。即communal ownership of land=a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards

而D里面用了 communal ownership of  land in which a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards

1)定从指代 ownership,那么逻辑关系成了, ownership in which a xxx ownership... 明显逻辑不通

2)定从指代land, 似乎暗示有好多这样的land,但是这里指的是一种这样的land,即a pre-Columbian form of ownership was respected by the Spaniards (好绕啊,不知道说清楚没有)

说白了,就是限制性定从和非限制性定从的区别,这个在OG里面比比皆是

同位语类似非限制性定从, 只是充当进一步解释的作用

而限制性定从是明确作定语的,也就是暗示了,被修饰的对象有好多情况,而句子里面特指定从的那种情况。

不知道说清楚没有,供你参考

谢谢dingxiang,但是我想问E中that可以指代ownership啊,ownership that had been……

“规律一” a of b that,“that”优先指代B。

“规律二”同位语的选项比定语从句的选项优(尽量少用代词原则--有效性原则)

以下是引用youyou3941在2008-7-18 14:37:00的发言:

对阿

但是你注意到E用的是限定性从句么?

意思上是有差别的,你再看看我2楼的解释?

我也是近期才弄明白限制与非限制的区别的,感觉dingxiang说的已经很明了了.就是那个意思
