参照点结构中名词化的认知语法解释

A Cognitive Grammar Account of Nominalization in Referent-point Constructions

以往研究根据参照点名词的凸显度或动词的及物性来解释"N的V"结构成立的制约条件。本文在认知语法框架内重新考察该结构,通过观察真实语料中不同动词在该结构中的分布情况提出,概念自主程度是影响该结构成立的最重要因素。动词的概念自主程度越高,"N的V"结构的可接受程度就越高。当概念自主程度相同的动词在进入该结构的可能性上呈现出差别时,这可以归究于它们名词化用法的固化程度的差别,而这些固化程度的差别在其他更简单的结构中也有所反映。

Previous research has tried to explain the acceptability of the ＂NdeV＂ construction in terms of prominence of N or transitivity of V. This paper reexamines this construction within the framework of Cognitive Grammar. Based on a careful observation of the distribution of various verbs in actual use,it argues that conceptual autonomy/dependence is the most important factor constraining the construction. Besides,verbs with the same degree of conceptual autonomy may still behave differently with respect to the ＂NdeV＂ construction,a fact attributable to different degrees of entrenchment of their nominalizations.
