Within Distributed Morphology, it has been proposed that the lexical vocabulary consists of Roots: category-less primitives. The motivation for Roots is connected with a line of argument reaching back to Chomsky concerning the representation of lexical categories and their role in syntax. At the center of the theory of Roots is the Two Domains Intuition: the idea that there are two different types of domains in which grammatical interactions (form: allomorphy; meaning: allosemy) occur. Roots are posited as part of an argument against lexicalist approaches to the Two Domains Intuition that reduce it to a modular distinction between the lexicon and the syntax. In place of the modular distinction, Root-based approaches hypothesize that domain differences are derivative of syntactic locality effects in a way that connects with the phase theory of Minimalist syntax. This review examines developments leading to current versions of a Roots-and-contexts theory. A particular focus is on the idea that separating lexical Roots from the morphemes that categorize them is essential to defining the distinct locality domains that are posited to explain the effects subsumed under the Two Domains Intuition.

分布式形态学中的根源动机

在分布式形态学中，已经提出词汇表由根组成：无类别原语。Roots 的动机与可以追溯到乔姆斯基的关于词汇类别的表示及其在句法中的作用的论点有关。根源理论的核心是两域直觉：认为有两种不同类型的域在其中发生语法相互作用（形式：异形；含义：异位）。根被假定为反对两域直觉的词汇主义方法的论点的一部分，该方法将其简化为词典和句法之间的模块化区别。代替模块化的区别，基于根的方法假设域差异是句法局部性效应的衍生，其方式与极简句法的相位理论相联系。这篇综述考察了导致当前版本的根源和背景理论的发展。一个特别关注的想法是，将词汇词根与对其进行分类的语素分离对于定义不同的位置域至关重要，这些域被假定为解释包含在两个域直觉下的效果。《语言学年度评论》第 7 卷的预计最终在线出版日期为 2021 年 1 月 14 日。有关修订后的估计，请参阅 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。一个特别关注的想法是，将词汇词根与对其进行分类的语素分离对于定义不同的位置域至关重要，这些域被假定为解释包含在两个域直觉下的效果。《语言学年度评论》第 7 卷的预计最终在线出版日期为 2021 年 1 月 14 日。有关修订后的估计，请参阅 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。一个特别关注的想法是，将词汇词根与对其进行分类的语素分离对于定义不同的位置域至关重要，这些域被假定为解释包含在两个域直觉下的效果。《语言学年度评论》第 7 卷的预计最终在线出版日期为 2021 年 1 月 14 日。有关修订后的估计，请参阅 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
