基于预制语块和合并操作的汉语领主句研究

Prefabricated Chunks and Merge-based Derivations:A Study on Chinese Unaccusative Constructions with Possessor-subject and Possessum-object

汉语母语者储存在心理词库中的习语性领主句数量有限,但使用频率却非常高。这类领主句在具体的语言使用中累积历时性理据后凝练为语块单位,很容易被母语者从心理词库中提取出来并加以运用。而常规性领主句的形成则是由母语者在推导程序的基础上经历句法运算而衍生出的规范句型,可以从题元角色和格位形式方面进行分析。本文论述表明,语言研究不宜因理论取向不同而忽略语言事实内部的细微差别。

The idiomatic UCPP constructions are stored in the mental lexicon of native Chinese.Although they are limited in number,the frequency of their use is high.This type of UCPP accumulates its diachronical motivations in practical use,thereby abstracting into formulaic chunks,and native speakers of Chinese can readily retrieve them from their mental lexicon and put into actual use.In contrast,the formation of canonical UCPP is based on the standard derivations and syntactic computations,and can be analyzed along the lines of thematic roles and case.This article proposes that language research should not be partial in selecting theories,otherwise subtle differences covered within the linguistic facts will be overlooked.
