摘要
本文以《左传》等先秦文献为主要考察对象,借鉴原型及物性理论,探讨先秦汉语＂可＂字句的句法和语义特征,进而基于类型学视野提出,先秦汉语的＂可＂字句是一种表达受事主体潜能性的助动词型中动式。
Taking the texts of Zuozhuan （《左传》） and other books in Pre- Qin as the main data, this paper discusses the syntactic and semantic characteristics of the ke clauses in the Pre-Qin Chinese from the perspective of the Prototypical Transitivity Theory. Based on this discussion and a typological comparison, this paper argues that the ke clauses in Pre-Qin are a kind of auxiliary-type middle voice construction expressing the potentiality of the patient subject.
