动词和构式之间的关系--动词语义焦点

The Relations Between Verbs and Constructions: On Verbal Semantics

在处理结构和动词之间的关系中,构式进路有优于词汇进路的地方。但构式语法的动词语义及其与构式整合关系的描述有其不足之处。动词语义至少在两个方面的作用不可忽视。构式多义性取决于动词;小句成立与否在一定程度上取决于动词和结构语义一致性。构式进路和词汇进路一样,对动词类组准入构式(或结构)的动因还缺乏令人信服的解释。笔者则通过发掘共享语义参数来合理解释其动因。

Constructional approach has some advantage over lexical approach in treating the relation between structure and verb. Yet, it still lacks adequate description of verb meaning and its integration with construction. Two aspects of verb mean- ing cannot be neglected. First, polysemy of construction is related with different verb classes. Second, acceptability of clauses may be related with the compatibility of verb meaning and constructional meaning. Constructional approach, like lexieal ap- proach, does not offer convincing explanation to the motivation of verb classes being licensed to the constructions. The authors attempt at an adequate explanation to the motivation via shared semantic parameters.
