构式“往死里X”的结构层级和形成机制

The Internal Hierarchy and Formation Mechanism of the “Wang si li(往死里)X” Construction

基于构式语法,在考察现代汉语中“往死里X”结构的使用情况的基础上,认为该结构为蕴含高程度量的半实体性构式,“往”“死”“里”是常项,变量“X”主要是动词和形容词。由于构件“死”的指称性较强,“往死里V”构式隐喻承继“往N里V”构式。随着变量“V”的聚合特征逐渐泛化,“A”不断涌入,常项“死”概念语义日益磨损,变量和常项双向互动下,构式“往死里X”演变为一个高程度量构式,具有一定的能产性。

Drawing on the data derived from BLCU Corpus Center(BCC),this paper investigates the“wang si li(往死里)X”construction.From the Construction Grammar perspective,this paper argues that this construction is a partly substantive construction indicating high degree,in which“wang”“si”“li”are substantive elements and“X”is a schematic slot containing mainly verbs and adjectives.It also analyzes the internal hierarchy of the“wang si li(往死里)X”construction,explaining the inheritance link between“wang si li(往死里)V”and“wang N li V”.
