correlative 是可数名词,单数形式作主语时前面需要不定冠词 a/an;汉语名词常可光用,但英语可数名词单数不能裸用。
correlative 只作名词,指语言中替代别的成分的“代形式”(如 one、do);correlate 通常作动词,表示两事物彼此关联,常与 with 连用。句子里需要谓语、要表达“有关系”时,用 correlate;指一个替代性的语言单位时,才用 correlative。
correlation 是不可数或单数名词,指两事物之间的关联,尤其是统计上的相关;correlative 是可数名词,指起替代作用的语言形式,复数写作 correlatives。谈“两者的相关程度”“存在相关性”用 correlation;谈代词、代副词这类替代形式用 correlative。
relative 常指“亲戚”,语法上也指关系代词或关系从句,是一个具体的词类名称;correlative 在本义上是“代形式”的统称,并不专指关系代词。读音上 relative 前面没有 co-,写作家庭关系或关系代词时不要误加 co- 写成 correlative。英美用法一致,无地域差异。
