被使者的语法表现形式的原型特征解释

Grammatical realization of causee :A proto-property approach

被使者的语法表现形式在文献中有两种不同的解释。一种是基于基础动词的及物性解释,另一种是基于被使者的受影响性解释。二者可以通过Dowty(1991)的原型特征予以整合。原由及物性假设解释的现象可以用基于原型特征的组合论元选择原则来解释,原由受影响性假设解释的现象可以用基于原型特征的聚合论元选择原则来解释。由此,理论解释的一致性得以保证。

There are in literature two types of theoretical approaches to account for the grammatical realization of the causee argument in causative constructions. One is the transitivity-based approach. The other is the affectedness-based approach. Both approaches can be integrated with the meditation of proto-properties proposed in Dowty (1991). In the integrated approach, the phenomena previously accounted for by the transitivity-based approach are explained, re￣lying on the syntagmatic argument selection principle (Dowty 1991) based on the proto-property, while those previously accounted for by the affectedness based approach are handled, also on the basis of proto-property, according to the paradigmatic argument selection principle. In doing so, explanation consistency is ensured.
