作格句的演变与自足

On the Evolution and Self-sufficiency of an Ergative Sentence

作格动词在语用中发生的及物性变化自然地引发语句结构的改变,例如从S施+V+O受向S受+V作的转换,这种改变不仅仅是形态结构上的转变,更是功能和语义上的"嬗变",从一个自足体完美地演变成另一个自足体。作格句演变与自足的最终动力来自于说话人的心理参与,并总是在语用因素影响下承载说话人的体验和意志。作格句的演变与自足是一个内因和外因共同作用的过程。

Transitivity alternation of ergative verbs occurs in language use,and inevitably causes conversion in sentence structures,like from Sagent＋ V ＋ Opatient to Spatient ＋ Vergative,which is not just a change in morphology,but more a perfect ＂transmutation＂ in function and semantics from one self-contained body into another.The evolution and self-sufficiency of an ergative sentence ultimately results from the speaker’s psychological involvement,and is always fulfilled by the pragmatic factors concerning the experience and the will of the speaker.This evolution and self-sufficiency is the work of internal and external factors combined.
