汉语目的连动式的体相事件类型

Types of Temporal Contouring of Chinese SerialVerb Sentences Conveying Purpose Relations

体相反映的是现实世界中事物周而复始的演进过程。语言表征的体相是对这一现实的模拟,它是一个包含行为的体和时的范畴。基于三个基本时间参照点,本文提出解读句子时间结构的体相语义清单,旨在阐释句法时间结构的现实意义。本文以BCC语料库对话子库中的汉语目的连动式为研究对象,分析体相事件类型及其与动词、附加语和语境之间的作用模式。十三种体相事件类型涵盖事件发展各个阶段,呈现为一幅有序的时间图景。

Temporal contouring reflects periodically evolving processes of things and events in the real world.Temporal contouring represented in a language is simulation of this reality.The category of temporal contouring covers both the aspect and the tense of an action.Based on three fundamental reference points of time,this paper sheds light on a semantic inventory of temporal contouring to interpret the temporal structures in sentences,aiming to demonstrate the practical significance of the structure of syntactic time.Using Chinese serial verb sentences conveying purpose relations from the dialogue section of BCC corpus,the paper analyzes the types of temporal contouring events and clarifies their patterns of interaction among verbs,adjuncts and contexts.Thirteen types cover all stages of event development,presenting an orderly view of time.
