汉语单音节动词的时间性特征

Temporal features of Mandarin monosyllabic verbs

在事件语义学框架下,动词具有时间性特征。本文考察汉语单音节动词的时间性特征。在Vendler(1957)和Dowty(1979)的理论框架下对汉语单音节动词进行分类,提出单音节动词具有四个基本形式:状态动词、活动动词、达成动词和完成动词。本文采用动态性、持续性和终结性三个时间性参数,根据动词的句法语义表现,分析四类单音节动词的语法特征以及四类动词之间的组合关系。在此基础上,本文分析汉语单音节动词的内部时间性特征的句法实现和语义表达。

From the perspective of event semantics,verbs entail temporal features.This paper explores the temporal features of Mandarin monosyllabic verbs.According to Vendler(1957)and Dowty(1979),there are four types of verbs such as states,activities,achievements and accomplishments.This paper applies three temporal parameters of dynamicity,duration and telicity,and analyzes the temporal features of Mandarin monosyllabic verbs and their compositional relations,based on their syntactic and semantic representations.In addition,it illustrates the internal temporal features of Mandarin monosyllabic verbs through the syntactic and semantic representations.
