“颜色变化”属于宏事件之状态变化的一个语义小类。语料显示,形态上,“变价”“复合”“派生”和“短语”是汉语颜色词构成此类事件的主要方式;句法上,这类事件的表层结构较为灵活,在及物结构、隐性或显性非宾格结构,以及被动和把字结构上呈现出多种类型。研究表明:汉语颜色变化事件在形态结构、句法形式和语义内涵上具有很强的对应关系。因此,排除语言的传统、类型及语用等因素的影响,汉语此类事件的形义联结总体上遵循着基本一致的映射规律。

"Change-of-color"is a subcategory of the change-of-state which is one of five domains of mac-ro-event.Morphologically,it is formed mainly through"conversion""compounding""affixation"and"phrasing"of color roots.Syntactically,it is expressed through transitive constructions,deep or surface un-accusative constructions,Bei-or Ba-constructions.Study shows that Chinese change-of-color event dis-plays a strong correlation among the morphological structure,syntactic form and semantic content.There-fore,Chinese change-of-color expressions generally abide by the same linking rules in terms of their form meaning mapping,except for the influence of ancient Chinese as well as typological and pragmatic factors.
