英语双及物句式的语义假设

The Semantic Assumption of English Transitive Construction

英语双及物句式"S-V-N1-N2"的本质特征是以简洁的形式表达复杂的"给予"意义,其基本语义是"给予"。在基本句式中,动词"给予"的是N2,句式"给予N1"的是"V+N2"。本文对英语双及物句式的意义假设是"S-V+N2→N1"。通过论证,该语义假设能够对复杂的双及物动词作出同一的解释。

The essential feature of English ditransitive construction＂S-V-N1-N2＂is to express complicated meaning of ＂giving＂ with the simple form,and its basic semantics is ＂giving＂.In the basic construction, what the verb ＂gives＂ is N2,and what the construction＂ gives to N1＂is＂V ＋ N2＂.In this paper, the semantic assumption of English transitive construction is＂ S - V ＋ N2→N1 ＂.It is proved that the semantic assumption can make the identical explanation to the complicated transitive verbs.
