“NP_受+VP_t+QM”句式的多义性及其同构性解析

Polysemy and the Isomorphic Analysis of the Construction “NP_patient+VP_t+QM”

本文立足认知功能语法观,指出现代汉语"NP受+VPt+QM"所包含的三类句式虽然在语义上有差异,但具有同构性,并对此进行了论证和解释。本文认为实体计量(A式)、事件计量(B式)、时段计量(C式)具有共同的构式理据,不同类型的量词实现了同一个功能,即将实体、事件、时间"个体化"以成为计量单位,并以数词完成对量化状态的描述。在此基础上本文集中讨论了这种同构性的句法解释,并揭示了该构式话语功能的同一性。

Based on the theory of construction grammar,this paper has proved and explained the phenomenon that the three patterns with different meanings of the construction ＂NPpatient＋VPt＋QM＂ in modern Chinese are isomorphic in nature,i.e.the entity metering（Pattern A）,the event metering（Pattern B） and the time interval metering（Pattern C） share the same constructional motivation.In the construction,the function of individualization of the entity,event or time into units of measurement is realized by different measure words,and that of specification of the quantum state is accomplished by numerals.On the basis of the above analyses,the paper focuses on discussing the syntactic explanation of this isomorphism of this construction and revealing its identity of discourse function.
