Abstract

The syntactic status of hé ‘和’ in Chinese [DP1 hé DP2] structure is ambiguous when occurring in the subject position. It could be a preposition or a conjunctor. Three views have been proposed to account for this ambivalence, namely, the context-deterministic account, the multi-categorizer account, and the preposition-taking-all account. This paper argues against the preposition-taking-all account from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, and proposes that hé in the subject position can be and should be coordinative. On the basis of this, this paper presents several advantages of reinstalling the preposition-conjunction dichotomy analysis of hé.

Fußnoten
1
[4] and [5] argue that the primary function of hé is prepositional but is with the function of a conjunctor. [1] instead argues that it is a conjunctor but with a prepositional function. Notice that this special hybrid category can also be taken as alternating between a conjunctor and a preposition.
 
2
The term Zhuijia chenshu is not defined in [7]. According to the context it appears in [7], the essential meaning of it is to add something to a preceding element.
 
3
Leave aside the debate on the labeling of hé-structure as an &P or a DP.
 
4
We leave aside details of this controversial issue in this paper.
 
5
Set aside the specific label for it in this paper, be it &P or DP.
 
6
For more detailed responses to the remaining issues, please refer to [17].
 
7
It should be pointed out that the Canonical Clitic Theory does not require the item to meet each individual criterion. As for whether hé meets the requirement in (9) awaits more solid evidence from experimental phonetics.
