Oct 23, 2017 at 0:57 comment added dan I told you already 以安倍的自民党为为首的 is wrong. So, it's either used as 以... 为首 or 为首. For example, 为首的人是他。;以他为首;
Oct 23, 2017 at 0:53 comment added Blaszard But doesn't 为首 also mean "leader" or "head"? So I wonder if it is OK to say 以安倍的自民党为为首的 as well...
Oct 23, 2017 at 0:52 comment added dan 自民党 is modified by 安倍 的
Oct 23, 2017 at 0:48 comment added dan it should be 【(以 安倍的自民党 为 首)的】联盟. "以安倍的自民党为为首的?" is wrong, and only one 为 is needed. 以安倍的自民党为首的
Oct 23, 2017 at 0:41 comment added Blaszard Or put it in another way, my question is: Is it [ (安倍的自民党) (首)的]联盟 (以~为 modifies 联盟), or is it [(安倍的自民党为首)的]联盟 (安倍的自民党为首 modifies 联盟)?
Oct 23, 2017 at 0:37 comment added Blaszard Also, is it a valid sentence to duplicate 为, such that 以安倍的自民党为为首的?
Oct 23, 2017 at 0:36 comment added Blaszard Surely I know the 以~为 phrase. So according to your answer, in this sentence is it not 为首 but just 首 that modifies 自民党?
