结果偏离义“VA了”结构的句法和语义分析

The Syntactic and Semantic Analysis of the Excessive Resultative "VA le" in Chinese

本文主要对陆俭明(1990)提出的预期结果偏离义的"VA了"结构做进一步的讨论。文章分析了结果偏离类"VA了"的三个条件,即A究竟有什么特点,V对A有什么制约作用,以及A到底指向结构中的什么成分和结果偏离类"VA了"结构的句法形成过程,由此解释了结果偏离类"VA了"结构的句法和语义成因。

This paper proposes an analysis of resultative constructions ＂VA le＂ with an ＂excessive＂ interpretation （in the sense that the result exceeds one’s expectation）.After discussing the properties of both V1 （must be effective） and V2 （must be an open scale adjective）,it propose a syntactic analysis which accounts for the differences with normal resultative s.The difference is that in normal resultatives,the adjective that denotes the result is the predicate of the resultative small clause,whereas in the excessive case,V1 brings in its own telelicity：a small clause with an empty predicat e.The adjective that seems to be the result is analysed as an adjunct modifying this empty prediact e.
