“V来V去”构式多义性的认知理据

The Cognitive Motivation for Polysemy of the Construction “V lai V qu”

"V来V去"构式的原型义指向带有实际空间位移的动作反复,原型义可以延伸为虚拟位移的反复义或非位移的反复义;此构式在一定语境下可以获得相互义解读,在一定语篇中还能虚化为带有预设义的语篇标记。"V来V去"的构式多义性与动词的多样性以及动词和构式的互动紧密相关,动词的间隔重叠和语法化后的趋向动词"来、去"构成的反复体和表量图式是构式原型义到延伸义的重要理据。

The prototypical meaning of the construction ＂V lai V qu＂ designates an iteratwe mouonal process in real space, which can be extended to virtual iterative motion or even motionless iterative interpretations. A reciprocal interpretation may be obtained in certain context, and the construction can also function as a discourse marker with presupposition. The polysemy of ＂V lai V qu＂ pertains to the interaction between the variety of verbs and the construction. The repetitive verbs at interval and grammaticalized directional verbs ＂[ai/qu＂ work together as a particular iterative aspect in Chinese and result in a covert quantificational schema, which can be regarded as the cognitive motivation for its extension from prototypical meaning.
