指元性状态副词句的句法——语义特征研究

Syntactic and Semantic Studies on Argument-oriented Adverbial Sentences

语义指向问题的研究是现代汉语研究的热门话题之一。本文通过运用生成语法的语态理论并结合事件语义学的基本框架来分析状态副词指向主语和宾语(即"指元")的实现过程。通过分析两类句子的句法和语义推导模式,本文发现两类句子虽然拥有相同的表层结构但二者的底层结构却不同,从而最终导致副词的不同语义指向。此外本文还进一步论证了状态副词在句中构成次要谓词短语,表结果事件的次要谓词和表描述事件的次要谓词在指主句和指宾句中呈现出不对称性的特征。

The study on semantic orientation is one of the most highly discussed topics in Mandarin Chinese （ MC ） . This paper mainly talks about two cases of adverbials, semantically orienting to the subject and object respectively under the framework of Voice theory and the Event Semantics. By analyzing the syntactic and semantic derivations of the sentences, this paper argues that the two cases are derived from different D-structures even though they have the same S-structure. What＇s more, this paper further proves that the adverbials are projected into resultative and depictive secondary predicates which are asymmetrically distributed in the subject-oriented and object-oriented sentences.
