漢語的事件結構與論元聯結

Event Structure and Argument Linking in Chinese

本文旨在探討漢語結果動詞結構中的論元與句法聯結。作者認為以事件角色為基礎的聯結原則能夠解釋把字句和動詞重複句的互補現象，因為把字句中的「把＋名詞組」只和受影響角色（到達動作終點的實體）相關，而「重複動詞＋名詞組」只和動作目標角色（歷經整個動作的實體）相關。本文另提出若一個結果動詞結構有把字句結構，那它也會有相對應的被字句結構，因為這兩個句法結構都涉及到受影響角色的位移，只是表現有所不同。

This paper is concerned with the linking of arguments to syntax in Chinese resultative verb constructions. It is demonstrated that the linking principles based on event roles can account for the complementary distribution of the Ba-construction and the Verb-copying construction, because ‘ba+NP’ is associated only with the Locus of affect role (an entity that is involved in the endpoint), whereas ‘a copied verb+NP’ is associated only with the Target of activity role (an entity that undergoes the action). It is predicted that a resultative verb construction, which can occur in the Ba-construction, can have a corresponding Bei-construction, because both constructions involve the displacement of the Locus of affect role.
