过程哲学观中的事件及其语言表达式

Event in the Perspective of Process Philosophy and Its Expression

语言学界对"事件"的认识至今存在较大分歧,各种认识或多或少对动词和事件的过程特征有所忽视,一些跟事件过程相关的语言现象未能得到充分讨论。本文在过程哲学动态过程观的基础上对"事件"提出新的定义,并在事件过程观的基础上建立事件过程结构模式。基于该模式,一些跟动词过程特征相关的句法语义问题,时体范畴的某些重叠或过递现象,事态表达式的论元配置,以及各种修饰成分的分布情况可以得到有效阐释。

There still exist different understandings on the concept of ＂event＂ in the linguistic field. They ignore more or less the process features of the verb as well as the event it constructs, and so some of the language phenomena related to the event process have not been fully discussed. This study, based on the notion of dynamic process proposed by process philosophy, presents a new definition of ＂event＂. Based on the notion of event dynamic process, it also establishes a model of event process structure, which can help explain the syntactic and semantic differences of different process features of different verbs, the phenomena of duplication or successiveness of the category of aspect, and the allocation of the arguments or distribution of different modifiers of the event structure.
