基于宏事件特征的汉语动结式时体问题的认知实证研究

A Cognitive Empirical Study on the Temporal Gap in Chinese Resultatives——Based on the Theory of Macro-Event Property

根据宏事件特征理论,汉语动结式中动作与结果之间没有时间间隔。本研究通过问卷调查和访谈证明了这一论断。但是,实证研究同时发现,汉语动结式具有与英语动结式不同的宏事件特征:当动作与结果之间没有直接致使关系时,动结式不具备宏事件特征,动作与结果之间存在时间间隔。汉语动结式这一特殊的时体特征是由其双动词的句法结构和非规约性复合动词的能产性造成的。

According to the theory of Macro-Event Property （MEP）, it can be hypothesized that there is no temporal gap be- tween the action and result in the Chinese Resultative. And this hypothesis is supported by the data collected in the question- naires and interviews. However, it is also detected that Chinese resultatives differ from their English counterparts in terms of MEP： when the relationship between the action and result is not one of direct causation, the Chinese resultative does not have the MEP, and there does exist temporal gap between the action and result. This peculiarity in aspect is due to the double-verb syntactic structure of the Chinese resultative and the productiveness of unconventional compound verbs with the construction.
