本文针对邓盾关于动词不能作定语的观点进行了商榷,并在此基础上提出:人类有描摹受动作行为影响的事物或有某种行为的人、动物的表达内容,而这种表达需求落实(或谓投射)在语言上,很多就是通过表动作行为的词语或者结构体来修饰、限制事物和人来实现的,这是人类语言表达的共通的原则,至于采用哪种方法来表达,不同语言采取的表现手段(参数)不同,汉语通过动词作定语修饰名词的方式来完成这一表达任务。

This article discusses and challenges Deng Dun’s view that verbs cannot be used as adjectives. Based on this, it is proposed that humans have the need to express things that are influenced by passive actions or people and animals with certain behaviors, and this expressive need is realized (or projected) in language. Much of this is accomplished through words or structures that describe actions or behaviors to modify and restrict things and people, which is a common principle in human language expression. As for which method to use for expression, different languages use different means of expression (with different parameters), and in Chinese, the expression task is accomplished by using verbs as adjectives to modify nouns.
