Dangling constructions,despite the apparent “irregularity”,frequently find their way into the natural expressions in use.In the cognitive framework of the prototype categorization theory (cate-gorization,decategorization,and recategorization),the present thesis is a bold attempt at a systematic analysis of the diversified forms of such constructions,designed to reveal the varying levels of their ac-ceptability and offer some insights into language output.%垂悬结构是自然语言中出现频率较高的一种超常现象。在认知语言学的范畴化理论框架下对于这种结构的几种表现形式进行系统分析,可以揭示其可接受性不同程度的层级性以及这种层级性对于语言输出的指导意义。
