意愿情态动词的意愿等级

Volition Hierarchy of Volition Modal Verbs

句法结构与语义结构之间具有象似性,二者的互动是语言研究的重要课题。汉语的意愿情态动词表达意愿这种情态范畴,并不是均质的,内部各成员的意愿等级存在差异,因而在句法形式方面表现也就不同。汉语缺乏形态变化,观察用词汇手段标记的句式特征以及时间状语、否定副词、体标记、情态标记等外围成分所带来的句法效应成为汉语意愿等级与句法互动关系研究的重要切入点。本文在控制力假设框架下,通过对上述标记与意愿情态动词的共现关系测试,发现汉语意愿情态动词存在以下意愿等级:会>肯>要>愿意>希望>想。

The interaction between semantics and syntax is one of the hot topics in the field of linguistics.The relationship between Volition Hierarchy and its syntactic behaviors of VM （Volition Modal verbs） gives a good example of this interaction. Since Chinese lacks inflection, we could make use of the particular syntactic structures, temporal adverbials, aspectual and modal markers which have peripheral syntactic effects to study this relationship. Under the framework of Binding Force Hypothesis, we test the co-occurrence relationship between these markers and VM and discover the volition hierarchy of VM in Chinese. hui ken 〉yao 〉 yuan yi 〉 xiwang 〉 xiang.
