沈家煊

语言中的标记性（markedness）是指一个范畴内部存在的某种不对称现象（沈家煊1997）。

Markedness in language refers to certain asymmetries in a category ( Shen Jiaxuan 1997 ) .

沈家煊（1997）从句法功能的标记模式出发，指出性质形容词作谓语和状态形容词作定语是有标记的。

Shen Jiaxuan ( 1997 ) , by means of the markedness pattern of parts-of-speech and syntactic function , points out that attributive adjectives are marked when they are used as predicates , and that static adjectives are also marked when they are used as pre-modifiers .

量词和名词的搭配不是随意的，也不能只理解成为约定俗成，因为他们之间有着一定的关系，沈家煊（1999）的句法相似性理论能够解释其中的相关问题。

The collocation between a measure word and a noun is neither optional nor accepted only through common practice , for there is certain relationship between them .
