对Talmy运动事件类型学的纠偏

A Rectification of L.Tamly's Motion Event Typology

从Talmy运动事件类型学的缺陷入手,认为现有修补方案并未触及其症结,即对概念化主体的识解维度的忽视,因而未能对主观性语义特征给予类型学上的重视,导致对指示范畴的处理不当。作为言者主观性在运动事件中的编码,运动指示理应被视为运动事件语义学的核心要素之一。因此,主张将指示范畴从原有类型学参数中析出,作为运动的主观识解维度。探讨不同语言中运动指示的编码差异,有利于纠正Tamly运动事件类型学的偏颇之处。

Proceeding from the deficiencies of L. Tamly＇ s motion event typology, this paper holds that current remedial strategies fail to identify the crux,i, e. , the neglect of the eonceptualizer＇ s con- strual, hence the typological implications of the semantic feature [ ＋ subjectivity ], which is responsi- ble for the improper handling of the deictic category. As the events, motion deixis stands justifiably at the core of motion to single out deixis from original typological parameters, as coding of speaker subjectivity in motion event semantics. Therefore, we propose a subjectively construed dimension. The prospect of exploring different means employed by different languages for coding motion deixis, we hope, may help rectify Tamly＇ s motion event typology.
