From a perspective of Construction Grammar (Goldberg, 1995), this paper discusses three types of Resultative Constructions in Mandarin Chinese by investigating their argument structure, semantic representation and syntactic mapping. According to the preliminary study, both objects and subjects of these constructions receive extremely versatile sets of thematic roles, which violate the sub-categorization of verbs. This helps increase our understanding of the mechanism of the argument realization in Chinese Resultatives. But the question as to what determines the meaning of the whole construction still remains open. |
