在名词词组中心词之前如果有两个或两个以上限定词出现时,就会产生限定词的先后顺序问题。限定词与限定词的搭配关系前位,中位,后位限定词前位限定词(Predeterminer):all,both,half,double,twice;one-third,two-thirds;what,such(a/an)等。从这些前位限定词,我发现它们包括了:分数:One-third,two-fifths倍数:Half,double.twice,threetimes不定限定词:All,both,half以及What,such(a/an)有的学者把出现在不定冠词之前的quite和rather也归入前位限定词包含下列词:定冠词:a(an),the,zero;指示词:this/that/these/those;形容词性物主代词,名词所有格:my,your,his,her;John's;不定限定词(量词):some,any,no,every,each,either,neither,enough,much等疑问限定词:即wh-words:what(ever),which(ever),whose等。中位限定词(Centraldeterminers)后位限定词(postDeterminer)包括以下单词:基数词:one,two,three序数词:first,second,third量词:many,much,(a)few,(a)little,fewer,(the)fewest,less,(the)least,more,most,plentyof,alotof,lotsof,agreatnumberof,agreat/goodday,agreatquantityof,ect。不定限定词:other,another,next,last个别跨类现象Such既属于前位限定词,又可归入后位限定词。只在sucha…和suchan…这样的搭配中属于前者;而与其他限定词:Some,any,no,all,few,another,other,many,one,two等搭配时为后者,如:somesuch,anysuch,nosuch,fewsuch,onesuch等。1.I'veneverseensuchacrowd!/Suchabeautifulgirl.2.Astheoldsayinggoes,thereisnosuchthingasafreelunch.2.三类限定词的搭配关系搭配关系:前位——中位——后位,只含两类词时也适用。Allthefourteachers,allyourthreebooks,alltheselastfewdays,halfhislecture,thoselastfewmonths,suchamisfortune……Theteacheraskedhisstudentstowritetheiranswersoneveryotherline.Bothmybrothershavegraduatedfromuniversities.Theoldmenhadaverygoodtimeduringalltheselastfewdays.※前位限定词之间,中位限定词之间是互相排斥的。不能在一个中心词前同时使用两个或两个以上中、前位限定词。比如:我的那本书:mythatbookThatbookofminehalfallthecake,someJohn’sfriends是错误的限定词不能用来修饰代词,如不可以说boththey,mostthey,而应用bothofthem,mostofthem的形式。※表示同类意义的不同位的限定词不能同时修饰同一名词.somemuchwater(wrong)※后位限定词可以重叠使用,即可同时出现但位置比较固定,(比如序数词+基数词;序数词+数量词)例如:LastfewmonthsSeveralhundredguestsHislasttwobookThefirsttwochaptersTwomoresheets.Thenextfewweeks.Manymorecopies.Afewmoresamples.Anothertwentytons.在英语中,当名词有多个形容词修饰时,就有它们的先后顺序。下面的口诀可帮你记住这一先后顺序,也是解题的关键。限定描绘大长高,形状年龄和新老;颜色国籍跟材料,作用类别往后靠;其中,“限定”是限定词的搭配。“描绘”性形容词如:beautiful、bad、cold、great等。“大长高”表示大小、长短、高低等一些词。表示“形状”的词如:roundsquare等。“国籍”指一个国家或地区的词。“材料”的词如:wooden,woolen,stone,silk等。“作用类别”的词如:medical,college,writingdesk,policecar等典型例题:1)Tonyisgoingcampingwith___boys.A.littletwootherB.twolittleotherC.twootherlittleD.littleothertwo答案:C。由“限定词--数词--描绘词--(大小,长短,形状,新旧,颜色)--性质--名词”的公式可知数词,描绘词,性质依次顺序。2)Onedaytheycrossedthe____bridgebehindthepalace.A.oldChinesestoneB.ChineseoldstoneC.oldstoneChineseD.Chinesestoneold答案A.几个形容词修饰一个名词,他们的排列顺序是:年龄,形状,大小+颜色+来源+质地+用途+国家+名词。3)----HowwasyourrecentvisittoQingdao?----Itwasgreat.Wevisitedsomefriends,andspentthe___daysattheseaside.A.fewlastsunnyB.lastfewsunnyC.lastsunnyfewD.fewsunnylast答案:B。本题考查多个形容词的排序问题。一般与被修饰形容词关系密切的形容词靠近名词;如果几个形容词的重要性差不多,音节少的形容词在前,音节多的方在后。1.(2004年重庆卷33题)Thehusbandgavehiswife_______everymonthinordertopleaseher.A.allhalfhisincomeB.hishalfallincomeC.halfhisallincomeD.allhishalfincome2.(2004年浙江卷24题)______studentsarerequiredtotakepartintheboatrace.A.TenstrongyoungChineseB.TenChinesestrongyoungC.ChinesetenyoungstrongD.YoungstrongtenChinese3.(2004年辽宁卷22题)JohnSmith,asuccessfulbusinessman,hasacar.A.largeGermanwhiteB.largewhiteGermanC.whitelargeGermanD.Germanlargewhite
