“移动样态动词+处所宾语”的语义功能

The Semantic Function of "Motion Verb + Locative Object"

本文重点探讨"移动样态动词+处所宾语"的语义功能。当场所指代其"内容物"时,移动的目标就是场所中的"内容物"。主体通过移动达到目标,实现移动的目的(如"逛商场")。当场所是某一路径时,主体从一系列移动路径的选项中选出一项,作为移动的方式、手段(如"走小路")。介词结构的主要功能是限定移动发生的场所或经过的地点,此场所或地点往往也是后续行为发生的"舞台"。

This paper mainly discusses the semantic function of ＂motion verb＋locative object＂. If a location refers to its content, the goal of a motion is the content, which exists in the location. The subject moves to reach the goal in the location, accomplishing the aim of the motion. If a location refers to a path, the subject chooses one among possible paths,which becomes a means of a motion. Additionally, locative preposition phrases highlight a location in which a motion occurs and a route through which it goes. This location is also where subsequent activities take place.
