“单一路径限制”规则与日语复合动词构词分析

Study on “Unique Path Constraint”and the Formation of Japanese Compound Verbs

日语复合动词结构复杂,其形成必须遵循一定的规则。本文通过分析“单一路径限制”规则对复合动词形成的制约条件,明确复合动词整体只能包含一条变化路径,并由后项动词所提供。同时也考察了前项动词的语法特征,认为前项动词不包含变化路径,只表示主体动作。复合动词整体符合<行为一►变化一►结果>的自然规律。

Japanese compound verbs are complex in structure,and their formation must follow certain rules.Through an analysis of the impact of"Unique Path Constraint"on the formation of compound verbs,this paper shows that com pound verbs can only contain a single path,which is provided by the latter verb.At the same time,the grammatical features of the form er verbs are also examined.It is considered that the former verbs do not contain any path,and only indicate the movem ents of the verbs.The compound verb whole conforms to the natural law of"act—►change-►result".
