(二)冠词的特指用法
特指不同于类指,它不是泛指一类人或物,而是特指一类入或物中的具体对象 。 这里有两种情况:
种是非常明确地指出何人或何物,这叫做“确定特指" (Definite Spec巾c Reference) 。 定冠词常作这种用
法。例如 :
We own a dog and a cat. The dog is brown, and the cat is white. (特指上文提到过的狗和猫)
The dog and the cat are the same ones we had last year. (特指去年就饲养了的狗和猫)
另一种情况是“非确定特指" (Indefinite Specific Reference), 这也是特指具体对象,但没有明确指出 。
不定冠词常作这种用法 。 例如:
I metan oldman in the st「eet. (虽未道出姓名但所指仍为某一特定的老人)
I have lost a button. (指失落一颗特定的纽扣,但未说出何种纽扣)
The氓 s a letter for you. (指一封特定的信件,但不明确是谁写来的)

后照应特指、前照应特指、语境特指
确定特指又可分为后照应特指 (anaphoric
spec巾c reference)
、 前照应特指
(cataphoric specific reference)
和语境特指(situational reference) 。
后照应特指是一种确定特指,即用定冠词表示上文已经提到的人或物 。 第一次提及通常用不定冠词 。第二次提及,如果不便使用代词,则用定冠词 。

the better of
it.

a
book
some time
ago. It has now arrived.
