生成性建构主义视角下动结式的核心问题探究

On the Head Issue of Mandarin Resultative Verb Compounds from the Perspective of Generative Constructionism

在汉语动结式的核心问题上既有"核心统一说"与"核心分离说"之争,也有"词汇核心说"和"功能核心说"之争。本文在前人研究的基础上,提议将动结式的语义和句法核心都统一于功能成分。针对现有"功能核心说"的不足,本文基于强式生成性建构主义思想提出,动结式在事件语义上表达一个整体性的变化性事件,其语义核心是事件谓词CHANGE,与之对应的功能语类v_(CHANGE)是事件语义的表达核心,同时也是事件句法的结构核心。动结式的组成词项V_1和V_2作为光杆词根不具有独立的投射功能,两者分别以"融合"和"并入"方式与v_(CHANGE)相融,语义和句法上都不存在所谓的"词汇核心"。

Concerning the head issue of Mandarin Resultative Verb Compounds（ RVCs）, there has been a dispute be- tween Unified Head Hypothesis and Separated Head Hypothesis and one between Lexical Head Hypothesis and Func- tional Head Hypothesis. This paper argues for an approach whereby a functional head serves as both the semantic and syntactic head. With regard to the problems facing the current Functional Head Hypothesis, we propose, based on the Generative Construetionism, that a Mandarin RVC conveys an integrated event, whose semantic head is the eventive predicate CHANGE. With that, we propose a new functional head VCHANGE, which is the syntactic counterpart of CHANGE, serves as the head of the event syntax of Mandarin RVCs. The lexical items consisting of RVCs, namely V1 and V2, enter the syntax as roots and have no projections, with V1 adjoined with VCHANGE by means of Manner Conflation and V2 moved into VCHANGE by Incorporation.
