为何物质小句又可以是关系小句?--对双重谓语小句动词的认知功能研究

Why is it Possible that a Material Process can also be a Relational Process?——A study of the verbs in the double predicate clause from a cognitive-functional perspective

本文根据认知语言学的原型范畴理论和概念隐喻理论分析可出现在双重谓语中的动词。分析发现,这些动词由于通过转喻和隐喻的认知手段语义经历了变化,因而进入了系动词be或become的范畴,所以既能表示行进动作又能起系动词的作用,从而体现双重过程。

This paper represents an attempt to analyse the verbs that appear in what is called the double predicate in the light of the prototype theory of categorization and the theory of metonymy and metaphor in cognitive linguistics. The analysis of actual data brings to light the fact that these verbs have undergone semantic changes by means of metonymy and metaphor, and found their way into the linguistic category of BE or BECOME so that they play the double functions of realizing relational process as well as material process.
