简评“了1”的语义研究

A Review on the Semantic Analyses of Verbal Le(了1)

本文述评了普通话词尾"了1"的一部分代表性研究,并提出几项新见解。助词性"了1"的语义研究可分为单一意义派、特征分解派、功能划分派,我们认为该词编码了动态变化义和相对已然义。对于补语性"了1",我们主张它的语法化程度介于补语和助词之间,这加剧了普通话句法结构的复杂度。

The paper reviews a number of influential studies on the semantic analyses of verbal le(了1)in Mandarin and presents our comments on the controversial issues.We argue that verbal le encodes relative non-future tense,and it is inappropriate to analogize it with the auxiliary you(有).It is agreed that verbal le can also serve as a phase complement,and we find that this kind of verbal le makes the syntactic structures of Mandarin more complicated than what the previous studies propose.
