论“等（到）VP1,VP2”句式

On Sentence Pattern of "Děng（等）（Dào（到））VP1,VP2"

“等(到)VP1,VP2”是一种后时性事件背景类时间复句,连词“等(到)”是关联标记,用于引领时间分句。它还存在“等(到)VP1,便/就VP2”“等(到)VP1,才VP2”等下位句式。该句式中,时间分句所述事件具有时间参照功能,其所述事件发生之后,正分句所述事件随即发生。前分句是时间背景,后分句是表意重心,两者形成“背景—前景”关系。VP1和VP2表述已然事件还是未然事件一般具有一致性,如果表述已然事件,前后分句都呈现出完成体的体貌特征;如果表述未然事件,则或者前后分句都是将来完成时,或者前分句为将来完成时、后分句为一般将来时。
