“通过”的语法化和语义研究

Syntactic and Semantic Research of Tongguo(通过)

“通过”作为介词的用法是对外汉语教学中的一个难点。文章利用隐喻、“非终结性动词”以及认知图景等理论,从历时的角度,对“非终结性动词”理论作了进一步的探索,提出“相对非终结性”的说法,解释了部分“通过”从动词向介词衍化以及语义发展的过程。同时分析了动词义和介词义之间在语义上的延续。最后阐述这种探索方法给予汉语介词研究的一些启示。

The word tongguo as a preposition is quite difficult for foreigners in Chinese teaching. This paper, in light of the nonterminating verbs theory, suggests the concept of relative non-terminating verbs to explain how the word tongguo changes from a verb into a preposition. Besides, it also analyzes the semantic relationship between tongguo as a verb and as a preposition.
