从非范畴化的角度来分析英语中动句

语言中的中动现象一直都是语言学界研究的热点与难点,至今也难以达成一个共识。首先关于是否存在中动句这一说就很有争议,有人认为存在中动句,并有其独特的句式和语义特征,另外则有人认为中动句就是普通句式,不存在需要独立划分出中动句的需要。在前面一种说法的前提下,学者们对中动句动词定性,以及中动句结构的界定也都还没有形成一个定论。在前人研究的基础上,本文试图从非范畴化角度来研究中动句,鉴于中动句的复杂性,我认为单用一种方法是不足以解释其本质的,所以在分析过程中加入了一些原型范畴理论,以求得一点突破。

Middle phenomenon has always been a hot and difficult issue in the field oflinguisties and by now it is still hard for the scholars to reach a consensus onit. Firstly, it is disputed about whether Middle phenomenon exists or not. Some held that Middle Construction does exist with its special sentence pattern and semantic trait; while some think that Middle sentences are just normal sentences and there is no need to separate them from the normal sentences. As for the first school who think that Middle Construction does exist they fall to reach a consensus about the rules of its verbs and the rules of judge it. Based on the previous studies, this paper would study Middle sentence from the perspective of decategarization plus prototype thetay in order to make some achievements.
