論粵語中遭損性使動結果謂詞「V－親」

On the Cantonese Resultative Predicate V-can

本文探討粵語中以動詞性詞素「－－親」為標誌的遭損性使動結果謂詞。特別是通過對「V－－親」謂詞的體貌屬性相關問題的探索，本文討論這個動詞詞素的數個核心屬性以及它們與使動與非賓格結構相關的現象。文章亦討論各個謂詞的每種類型的論元結構投射及相關的約束條件。結果顯示，這些謂詞所體現的使動與非賓格句法交替之可能性與非可能性，取決於謂詞本身的辭彙語義特徵，以及相關的辭彙屬性的不同認可條件。

This paper investigates a subtype of resultative predicate marked by the verbal particle -can in Cantonese and associated with adversative meaning. A number of central properties of this verbal particle and issues related to the phenomena of causativity and unaccusativity are explored with particular reference to the aspectual properties of the V-can predicates. We also examine the constraints on the structural projection of arguments of each type of predicate. It is shown that the possibility/impossibility of causative/unaccusative alternations of these predicates is determined by the lexical semantics of the predicates, and different licensing features of the relevant lexical properties. 本文探討粵語中以動詞性詞素「－－親」為標誌的遭損性使動結果謂詞。特別是通過對「V－－親」謂詞的體貌屬性相關問題的探索，本文討論這個動詞詞素的數個核心屬性以及它們與使動與非賓格結構相關的現象。文章亦討論各個謂詞的每種類型的論元結構投射及相關的約束條件。結果顯示，這些謂詞所體現的使動與非賓格句法交替之可能性與非可能性，取決於謂詞本身的辭彙語義特徵，以及相關的辭彙屬性的不同認可條件。
