摘要
以往对复合使动和结果补语结构的研究多从语义或句法角度进行,没有深入到事件结构内部。通过对这两个结构中谓词V1、V2与它们前后名词短语NP1和NP2的关系的探讨,发现这两个结构具有相同的底层结构,并据此从事件结构内部的句法投射角度,以最简方案框架下的动词壳为基础提出新的解释途径。以介词"使"为中心语的介词短语PP连接了致力事件和结果事件,更好地展现了致使事件内部的关系。
The former discussions about compound causatives and resuhatives used to take the semantic or syntactic perspectives, and the event structures of the constructions were not discussed. This paper explores the relationships between the activity predicate V1, the result predicate V2 and the noun phrases NP1, NP2. Their relationships show that compound causatives and resuhatives share the same underlying structure. Based on this underlying structure, this pa- per makes the proposal that there exists a PP headed by the preposition ＂shi＂in the deep structure of compound causatives and resultatives, which connects the causing event with the result event. This proposal is based on the vP-shell structure in the framework of the Minimalist Program and it can exhibit the inner relationships of the Causativity clearly.
