成分重量和粤方言双及物结构的论元语序

On Argument Word Order for Component Weight and Ditransitive Construction in the Cantonese Dialect

双及物结构是学界研究的热点问题之一,对于该结构的研究有助于推动句法研究的深入。文章在简要回顾双及物结构与题元阶层之间关系的基础上,指出单从题元阶层出发探讨客体论元和接受者/目标论元孰高孰低的做法不利于对双及物结构中动词后两个论元成分的语序作更为全面的研究。文章着重分析成分重量对粤方言双及物结构中动词后的两个论元(即直接宾语和间接宾语)之间的语序所产生的影响。分析发现,粤方言"给予"类和其它类双及物结构在成分重量这个参数面前体现出较为鲜明的特点。

As one of the hot issues in linguistics, the study of ditransitive construction can shed new light on syntactic studies. This paper, on the basis of a brief review of the relation between ditransitive construction and thematic hierarchy, points out that, only from the perspective of thematic hierarchy, it will not lead to a comprehensive study of the word order of the two post-verbal arguments in ditransitive construction. Instead, this paper focuses on the influence of weight on the arguments （the direct object and the indirect object） word order of ditransitive construction in Cantonese dialect. It argues that in Cantonese dialect there are some distinctive characteristics between ＂give＂ and other types of ditransitive constructions from the perspective of weight.
