英语Way构式中动词与构式方向性搭配关系研究

On the Directional Collocation Relation between Verbs and Constructions in English Way-Construction

研究采用构式搭配分析法确定与way构式具有搭配关系的动词,使用ΔP方法计算构式与动词两种互为相反的单向关系,并创新性地提出ΔP_(ratio)方法探讨动词与way构式搭配关系中的主导地位问题,以研究动词与构式的方向性搭配关系。研究发现,单向关系中,搭配强度具有强弱差异,主导地位存在主次差异。在构式主导区中,一般为构式的原型动词;而在动词主导区中,一般为非原型动词。这主要源于构式主导区的动词与构式的语义相融性较好,易融入构式;而动词主导区的动词与构式的语义相融性较弱,经构式压制使动词融入构式。

This research adopts Collostructional Analysis to identify collocational verbs of way-construction,applying ΔP method to analyze the reverse unidirectional relation between verbs and constructions, and innovatively proposes ΔP_(ratio) method to explore the dominance of the collocations between them,with the aim of clarifying the direction of their collocation relation. The findings show that the differences in the unidirectional relation lie in the collostruction strength and the dominance position. Generally speaking,there are prototypical verbs in the construction-driven area,while there are non-prototypical verbs in the verb-driven area. Such differences mainly derive from the fact that the verbs in the former area are semantically compatible with the constructions and are prone to fuse into the constructions,but verbs in the latter district are less semantically compatible with the constructions and are coerced to satisfy the constructions.
