释义

1. 定語的

   指詞語、短語

   In "this big house", "big" is attributive, whereas in "this house is big", it is predicative.

   在“这所大房子”中，“大”是定语；而在“这所房子很大”中，“大”是表语。

   In "this tiger is a man-eater," "man" is an attributive noun.

   在“这只老虎是食人兽”中，“人”是定语名词。

   Since both Attributes and Adjuncts recursively expand N-bar into N-bar, it seems clear that the two have essentially the same function, so that Attributes are simply pronominal Adjuncts (though we shall continue to follow tradition and refer to attributive premodifiers as Attributes rather than Adjuncts).

   1988, Andrew Radford, Transformational grammar: a first course, Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, page 197:

   ATTRIBUTIVE NOUN. A noun that modifies another noun: steel in steel bridge; London in London house.

   定语名词。修饰名词的名词：steel brdige 中的 steel，以及 London house 中的 London。

   2005，Thomas Burns McArthur，Tom McArthur，Roshan McArthur，Concise Oxford Companion to the English Language：

   Grammatically, three ways of using adjectives can be distinguished: the attributive use, the predicative use and the adverbial use. We will only deal with the attributive and the predicative use here. In the attributive use, the adjective, within an NP, is attached to the head noun, e.g. a dubious company, a red balloon, the stupid driver.

   从语法上讲，形容词的用法可以分为三种：定语用法、表语用法和状语用法。本文我们只讨论定语用法和表语用法。在定语用法中，名词短语中的形容词加在中心名词后面，例如：a dubious company（一家可疑的公司）、a red balloon（一只红气球）、the stupid driver（那个愚蠢的司机）。

   2013，Sebastian Loebner，Understanding Semantics：

2. 歸於……的

   To hate, &c.] Or thus, To be affected with hatred and horrour at. For abhor, though arranged in our dictionaries among verbs active, attributes an affection rather than an act of the mind. As the mind however is an active principle, all verbs attributive of what passes in the mind, even those we call neuter, attribute at the same time some mental act or operation. To grieve is reckoned a verb neuter; yet in grieving at some misfortune, the mind is not less active than it is in abhorring or loathing an object; which latter verbs are called verbs active.

   1806, Benjamin Dawson, Philologia Anglicana: or, a Philological and synonymical dictionary of the English language ["A-Adornment"], page 36:

   * 947 आल and आट put after वाक् Speech, with it form adjectives attributive of much bad or improper speaking; as वाचाल, or वाचाट Who utters much bad language. * 948 […] affixed to nouns, with them form adjectives attributive of detraction,[…]

   1808, Charles Wilkins, A Grammar of the Sanskrita Language, page 516:

   Notably, along with being attributive of color, some of those adjectives are used to characterize sound or intensity of sensation (e.g. pain may behele 'shrill' or tume 'dull'), cognitive abilities (such as hearing, vision and acumen),[…]

   值得注意的是，除了表示颜色之外，其中一些形容词还用于描述声音或感觉强度（例如疼痛可能表现为“刺的”或“钝的”），认知能力（如听觉、视觉和敏锐度）， […]
