汉英概念化差异对各自动宾结构的影响

Impact on the VO Construction by the Conceptualized Discrepancy between Chinese and English

以动词"吃"为调查对象进行汉英动宾结构的对比分析,说明英汉动词概念化差异对各自动宾结构的语义系统有一定影响:英语的动词概念化方向通常较为具体明确,其主、宾成分必须同时出现,标明方向的起点与终点;而汉语的动词概念化方向的模糊性使得其主、宾成分不需要随时出现来标示概念化方向,这就给其它语义成分占据主、宾语位置提供了可能性。

Taking the verb ＂eat＂ as its object,this article aims at carrying out the comparative study of Chinese-English VO construction,arguing that the conceptualized discrepancy between Chinese and English VO construction motivates the major difference in the semantic system：the conceptualized direction of English verbs is rather specific and concrete which requires the co-occurrence of subject and object,marking the starting and end points;while Chinese verbs have the vague conceptualized direction which permits the absence of both subject and object.As a result,it provides possibility for other semantic stuffs to occupy the subject or object position.
