动词对受事宾语典型性强弱的制约

Motivation of Verb to the Degree of Prototypicality in Patient Object

受事宾语像其他语法范畴一样也是一个典型范畴,因此,受事宾语在受事的典型性上也就存在着强弱差别。制约受事宾语典型性强弱的因素很多,而动词的制约是其中很重要的一个方面,具体表现在动性程度的高低和动词在口语或语篇中出现频率的高低。两者的高低与受事宾语的典型性强弱具有一定的共变关系。

Patient object is also a proto-category like other grammatical categories, so it shows a rank hierarchy for the degree of prototypicality on patientivity. There are many factors to motivate the degree of prototypicality of patient object and one of them is motivation of verb, including the degree of motion and frequency of verb in discourse. It is argued that there is interaction relationship between the said features for verb and the degree of prototypicality of patient object.
