汉语动词重叠句的及物性分析

Transitivity Analysis of Verb Reduplication Sentences in Chinese

按Hopper&Thompson(1980)提出及物性假说中判断定及物性的特征,汉语动词重叠句的及物性表现出不均衡性,在涉及主语和动词的特征上,动词重叠式表现出高及物性;在涉及宾语及现实性特征上,动词重叠式表现出低及物性。本文认为后者是及物性的核心特征,因此汉语动词重叠式应该是低及物性的句式。在语篇上,动词重叠式在事件线索和情景设置两个参数上都表现出构建背景化信息的倾向。

According to the transitivity hypothesis proposed by Hopper Thompson(1980),the transitivity of Verb reduplication Sentences in Chinese is unbalanced.In terms of object and reality,verb overlapping shows low transitivity,which is the core feature of transitivity.Therefore,the reduplication of Chinese verbs should be a low transitivity sentence pattern.In discourse,verb reduplication tends to construct background information in both event clues and situational settings.
