试论构式语法中的“构式”

Defining Construction in Construction Grammar Theory

构式语法理论重视"构式"在语言研究中的作用,但对于如何界定构式,构式语法学派内部仍存在分歧。这一分歧既削弱了这一理论的整体影响力,同时也不利于该理论的进一步发展。本文在追溯构式概念发展历史的基础上,对构式语法理论几个主要框架的构式定义作了对比分析,认为定义构式应基于理论继承性和创新性两方面的考虑,同时也要充分考虑到客观语言实际。

Construction Grammar attaches great importance to construction, whose definitions vary from person to person, though.

It then explores the nature of constructional meaning after analyzing the inadequacy of Goldberg＇ s views on Construction Grammar, thereby contributing to the deeper insight of the meaning conflict between lexicon and construction, the coercion effect of constructional meaning on lexical meaning and the motivation of meaning change of lexicon and construction.
