汉语存现句中动词的非宾格性被引量：36

On the unaccusativity of verbs in Chinese existentials

导出

摘要在汉语存现句的研究文献中,有些学者认为有两类存现动词不属于非宾格动词:一类是"游、飞、爬"等标明运动方式的运动动词;另一类是"写、画、绣、刻"等及物动词。本文分析了汉语存现句中这两类动词的句法语义特点,认为这两类动词同其它典型的存现动词一样,都表现出非宾格性。本文提出,动词属性的变化来自事件谓词OCCUR的影响。本研究验证了黄正德(2007)的假设,认为动词非宾格、非作格的分类实际上代表了两种不同的事件类型,同时也支持存现动词的非宾格性假设。 In the literature on Chinese existentials, some researchers hold that there are two types of verbs that are not unaccusative: the motion verb (e. g. you (swim), fei (fly) and pa (craw)) and some transitive verbs (e.g. xie (write), hua (paint), xiu (embroider) and ke (carve)). This paper analyzes the syntactic and semantic properties of these two types of verbs in Chinese existentials and argues that all the verbs in the existentials exhibit unaccusative properties. We propose that it is the event predicate 'OCCUR' that determines the unaccustivity of the verbs in this type of sentences. Following Huang (2007), we hold that the unaccusative / unergative dichotomy in its essence represents two types of events. The study also defends the unaccusative hypothesis of the existential verbs.
