类型学视野中的致使结构

本文介绍了致使结构的分析框架和研究思路。作者认为要研究致使结构既要从共时跨语言类型的角度分析致使结构的形式类型、语义机制和句法特征,还要从历时类型学的视角讨论致使标记的来源以及致使结构与动词及物性、受益标记、被动结构等语法范畴之间的相互关系。

This paper, based on linguistic typology and historical linguistics, provides a comprehensive analytic framework on causative constructions. It maintains that when linguistics study the causative construction in individual languages and cross-linguistically, it is necessary not only to study its formal types, semantic mechanisms and syntactic properties in terms of synchronic typology, but also necessary to explore from the view of diachronic typology the origin of causative marking and the correlation between causatives and other grammatical categories, such as transitivity, benefactive as well as passive.
