Comment on the following groups to illustrate the difference between partial and full conversion. Group 1:" white — a white, final — finals" Group 2:"rich — the rich, wounded — the wounded"
选项
答案
It is not unusual to have nouns converted from adjectives. Unlike verbs,not all adjectives which are converted can achieve a full noun status. Some are completely converted, thus known as full conversion, others are only partially converted,hence partial conversion. Group 1 shows the feature of full conversion—a noun fully converted from an adjective has all the characteristics of nouns and can take an indefinite article or -(e) s to indicate singular or plural number. For example,"white" is an adjective and "a white" is a noun phrase (article+ noun),meaning a white man. "Final" is an adjective and "finals" a noun phrase(noun-f s) , meaning final exams or final competitions. Group 2 reveals the feature of partial conversion—nouns partially converted from adjectives do not possess all the qualities a noun does and they must be used together with definite articles. Words of this class generally refer to a group of the kind. For instance,"rich" is an adjective and "the rich" refers to the rich people. "The wounded" refers to the wounded soldiers.
