汉语动结式、连动结构及兼语句对比

A Comparative Study on Mandarin V-R Construction,SVC and Pivot Sentence

梳理已有对汉语动结式复合词、兼语句、连动结构的研究,发现三者都遵守时序原则,这是语言表达经济性的表现。但三者不宜放在一个平面下探讨,共时层面动结式复合词属于词法层面问题,兼语句和连动结构属于单句层面问题。兼语句和连动结构在论元共享、动词语义关系层面差异较大,前者可以归为核补结构,后者更接近并列结构。理清三者的边界,更有助于汉语语法理论的构建与发展。

By reviewing the previous studies on Mandarin V-R compound,SVC(serial verb construction)and pivot sentences,it’s argued that the above three constructions all obey the temporal iconicity principle,which reflects the economy principle of language expression.But they belong to different linguistic levels.Synchronically speaking,V-R compound falls within the morphological field,while pivot sentences and SVC fall within the single-sentence level of language study.Pivot sentences and SVC differ from each other in the respects of argument sharing and semantic features of the verbs.Pivot sentences can be analyzed as the predicate-complement structure while the SVC is close to coordination.Clarifying the boundary of the three similar constructions is beneficial to the theory building and development based on Mandarin Chinese.
