构式语法的量化分析方法——《基于语料库的构式语法研究》述评

构式语法正朝着更严密的实证研究和量化研究方向发展。《基于语料库的构成语法研究》一书基于多个语料库数据,以认知构式语法为研究框架,围绕句法语义界面,展开了多层次的量化分析研究,多角度验证了构式语法的理论价值,分别从频率与概率统计、配式分析、多因素分析和多变量分析的角度展开。本书主要有三方面鲜明特色:1)旗帜鲜明地采取基于用法的构式语法研究框架;2)根据统计分析的复杂度,采用不同层级的配式分析研究方法;3)面向以类型学为参照的历时与共时结合的研究对象。

Studies under Construction Grammar are more liable to rigorous empirical and quantitative research. Based on multi-level quantitative analysis of multiple corpus data, Corpus-based Approaches to Construction Grammar, with Cognitive Construction Grammar as its theoretical framework, probes into syntax-semantics interface, and verifies the theoretical value of Construction Grammar from multiple perspectives. It nicely exemplifies quantitative studies in Construction Grammar with three kinds of quantitative uses of corpus data, namely, frequencies and probabilities, collostructional analysis, and multifactorial and multivariate analysis. This volume is distinctive in three aspects: 1) it takes Construction Grammar as its theoretical framework;2) it takes different levels of collostructional analyses as research methods according to statistical complexity;3) within a typological framework, it studies language phenomena from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives.
