摘要
作格句在英语中是一种特殊句式,在第二语言习得中较难掌握。文章首先回顾了作格动词的研究成果,然后总结出作格句的理想化认知模式,对成对作格动词所构成的作格句按状态变化梯度划分出三种,并对这三种作格句用图形/背景知识来做出认知上的解释。
Ergative sentences, as a special sentence pattern, are very difficult to master in second language acquisition. This paper tries to analyze them from the cognitive point of view. First some predecessors' researches on ergative sentences are presented. Then, the ICM of ergative sentences is proposed, and the ergative sentences containing paired ergatives are divided into three types according to the hierarchies of the change of state in subjects. Finally, the three types of ergative sentences are explained by using the figure/ground theory.
