Head word in phrases

In English grammar, a head is the key word that determines the nature of a phrase (in contrast to any modifiers or determiners).

For example, in a noun phrase, the head is a noun or pronoun («a tiny sandwich«). In an adjective phrase, the head is an adjective («completely inadequate«). In an adverb phrase, the head is an adverb («quite clearly«).

A head is sometimes called a headword, though this term shouldn’t be confused with the more common use of headword to mean a word placed at the beginning of an entry in a glossary, dictionary, or other reference work.

Also Known As

head word (HW), governor

Examples and Observations

• «Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.»_{(Humphrey Bogart as Rick in Casablanca, 1942)}
• «As the leader of all illegal activities in Casablanca, I am an influential and respected man.»_{(Sydney Greenstreet as Senor Ferrari in Casablanca, 1942)}
• «The head of the noun phrase a big man is man, and it is the singular form of this item which relates to the co-occurrence of singular verb forms, such as is, walks, etc.; the head of the verb phrase has put is put, and it is this verb which accounts for the use of object and adverbial later in the sentence (e.g. put it there). In phrases such as men and women, either item could be the head.»_{(David Crystal, A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics. Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)}

Testing for Heads

«Noun phrases must contain a head. Most frequently this will be a noun or pronoun, but occasionally it can be an adjective or determiner. The heads of noun phrases can be identified by three tests:

1. They cannot be deleted.

2. They can usually be replaced by a pronoun.

3. They can usually be made plural or singular (this may not be possible with proper names).

Only test 1 holds good for all heads: the results for 2 and 3 depend on the type of head.» _{(Jonathan Hope, Shakespeare’s Grammar. Bloomsbury, 2003)}

Determiners as Heads

«Determiners may be used as heads, as in the following examples:

Some arrived this morning.

I have never seen many.

He gave us two

Like third person pronouns these force us to refer back in the context to see what is being referred to. Some arrived this morning makes us ask ‘Some what?’, just as He arrived this morning makes us ask ‘Who did?’ But there is a difference. He stands in place of a whole noun phrase (e.g. the minister) while some is part of a noun phrase doing duty for the whole (e.g. some applications). . . .

«Most determiners occurring as heads are back-referring [that is, anaphoric]. The examples given above amply illustrate this point. However, they are not all so. This is especially the case with this, that, these, and those. For instance, the sentence Have you seen these before? could be spoken while the speaker is pointing to some newly built houses. He is then not referring ‘back’ to something mentioned, but referring ‘out’ to something outside the text [that is, exophora].»

_{(David J. Young, Introducing English Grammar. Taylor & Francis, 2003)} 

Narrower and Wider Definitions

«There are two main definitions [of head], one narrower and due largely to Bloomfield, the other wider and now more usual, following work by R.S. Jackendoff in the 1970s.

1. In the narrower definition, a phrase p has a head h if h alone can bear any syntactic function that p can bear. E.g. very cold can be replaced by cold in any construction: very cold water or cold water, I feel very cold or I feel cold. Therefore the adjective is its head and, by that token, the whole is an ‘adjective phrase.’

2. In the wider definition, a phrase p has a head h if the presence of h determines the range of syntactic functions that p can bear. E.g. the constructions into which on the table can enter are determined by the presence of a preposition, on. Therefore the preposition is its head and, by that token, it is a ‘prepositional phrase.'»

О чем говорят нам английские идиомы со словом голова? О достаточно разнообразных явлениях и вещах.

В этом обзоре идиом про голову были выявлены следующие области их значений: превосходство, риск и опасность, сумасшествие и тупость, решение проблем, чувства и настроение, беспокойство, понимание, ум и рассудительность, внушение, слишком многое, достоинство и спокойствие, счет голов.

Кстати, интересно сравнить этот список с аналогичным списком тем, получившемся при подготовке обзора русских фразеологизмов про голову: бесшабашность и удаль, глупость, проблемы, ум, входящее в голову, происходящее в голове, выходящее из головы, манипуляция, погружение в задачу, кров, пьянство и трезвость, неадекватность, наглость, раскаяние.

Как видим, при значительном пересечении тем имеются существенные национальные особенности (например, лидирующая у нас тема удали и бесшабашности слабо представлена в английских идиомах).

Итак, голова играет достаточно большую роль в английском языке и жизни. Как, впрочем, и в русском языке и жизни.

Наверное, если бы в этом обзоре не приводились примеры употребления каждой из идиом, он был бы более легко воспринимаемым. Но, с другой стороны, такие примеры помогают лучше почувствовать верный контекст их применения.

This system classifies input sentences by the part of speech of the head word of a sentence.

The first entry is the head word (in blue, bold font), followed by a phonetic transcription [in square brackets and red], parts of speech (i.e., n, pro, v, adj, adv, prep, conj, and interj, in black), and English definitions, beginning with the most frequently used, followed by Iban example sentences (in blue italics) and sentence translations (again, in black).

In several instances two different sutras of Panini indicate with an identical head word a multitude of occurrences that are taken up in different gana-s:

For example, whatever word is on the left end of an «S» link is the subject of a clause (or the head word of the subject phrase); whatever is on the right end is the finite verb; whatever is on the left-end of a D link is a determiner; etc.

The gloss for each entry includes attestations of the head word‘s or phrase’s usage, usually in the form of a quotation.
