作格动词及物性转换与认知驱动

On Ergative Verbs’ Transitivity Alternation Conditioned by Cognitive Drive

作格现象的研究不仅仅要在句法、语义层面上进行,更要注重认知因素的影响。致使结构和起始结构之间并无蕴涵关系,两者平行互补,致使—起始转换的深层动因在于认知结构的变化。作格的突出表现就是〔±sentient〕特征的转移,人类在认知和释义世界的过程中不知不觉地加入了自己的意志和感受,也在不知不觉中改变了语言的模式。语言是人类心智与社会结构共同作用的产物,其演变离不开人的影响。

The studies of ergativity should not be done restrictedly on syntactic and semantic levels,but due attention must also be paid to cognitive factors.There is no relation of entailment between causativity and inchoativity,only that of parallel compliments.Causative-inchoative alternation has its deep momentum in cognition.Ergativity is charactered by the transfer of the(±sentient)feature.Humans,in their processing and interpretation of the world,have unwittingly added in their own wills and feelings,and unknowingly caused perceptible changes in language models.Language is the product of the interactions between human minds and social structures,and its evolution is inseparable from human effects.
