中国手语如何表达静态运动事件

The Representation of Static Motion Events by Chinese Sign Language

本文利用图片描述法获得语料,考察中国手语如何表达静态运动事件。结果发现:(1)受试以主手和副手分别表示[焦点]和[背景],双手之间的相对位置直接模拟真实空间中[焦点]和[背景]的物理位置关系,较少使用语法连接成分;(2)受试通常使用类标记动词和类标记结构表达静态位置关系,类标记结构的选择不仅受到物体自身特征的影响,还会受到动词语义的限制。

This paper, based on the method of picture description, aims to explore the representation of static motion events by Chinese Sign Language. The analysis shows the following： the dominant hand and the non-domi- nant hand are used to represent the focus and the background, and the relative position of the two hands is used to simulate the locative relation of the focus and the background in real space, with almost no grammar conjunc tious used; the classifier predicates and structures are usually used to express static locative relations; the choice of classifier structures is affected by the objects themselves, and limited by the verb semantics.
