汉语“V_(人体动作)+受事+同源宾语”的构式特征及其构式化过程

“Vmotion+PATIENT+Cognate Objects”Construction in Chinese:Its Features and Constructionalization

“V_(人体动作)+受事+同源宾语”构式具有以下特征:该构式以同源宾语表示动作的量,构式中充当受事的须是有定成分,构式中的双宾构式特征是一种非典型的双宾构式。通过梳理文献并检索历史语料,可以发现,这类构式的源头为“V_(人体动作)+同源宾语+给+受事”,经过“V_(人体动作)给+受事+同源宾语”而形成,是一个典型的构式化过程。在该构式化过程中,句法运作和韵律都起到积极的作用。

The“Vmotion+PATIENT+Cognate Objects”construction in Chinese distinguishes from others in its constructional features,which consists of 1)the PATIENT in the construction must be finite;2)verbal quantifications are expressed by cognate objects;and 3)the construction,showing certain features of double-object construction,is considered to a non-canonical one.On the basis of literature review as well as reference to historical data,the paper suggests that the“Vmotion+PATIENT+Cognate Objects”construction in Chinese originates from the structure“Vmotion+Cognate Objects+gei+PATIENT”.In the process of constructio-nalization,syntactic operation and prosody played crucial roles,and the structure“Vmotiongei+PATIENT+Cognate Objects”,which is found in historical data,could be treated as a transitional form.
