论“假装+V”结构的逻辑问题

On the logical problem of the"Jiǎzhuāng+V"construct

"假装+V"是汉语双动词"V1+V2"的一种特殊结构,会在语言表面上产生出逻辑问题:单从语句的表面主语看,"假装"与后接动词"V"会产生逻辑矛盾。对于这个逻辑问题,传统语法揭示不了问题的实质,认知语言学的构式语法把"假装+V"解释为语言使用的一个单位。本文从分析"假装+V"的表面语言问题入手,结合认知语言学的解释,试图阐明一个道理:语言使用并不一定要接受逻辑的限制,语言的可能并不一定要等于逻辑的可能,也并非要满足事实的可能。

As a special construct of'V1+V2'in Chinese,the'jiǎzhuāng(pretend)+V'construct is likely to cause a logical problem at the level of language form:the sentential subject is found to hold two contradictory verbs,with a logical problem between jiǎzhuāng and its subsequent verb. While traditional grammar cannot justify this construct,theories of cognitive linguistics like Construction Grammar can well shed some light on its mechanism.Based on a study of it from the perspective of traditional grammar to cognitive linguistics,this paper arrives at the conclusion that language use is not necessarily constrained by logic and the possibility of linguistic expression does not always match the possibility of logic and reality.
