日语间接被动句中「られ」的轻动词特性分析

An Analysis of the Light Verb Characteristics of‘Rare’in Japanese Indirect Passive Sentences

先前研究对日语间接被动句中如何指定主语论元角色一直存在争议。本文从生成语法的角度,基于Chomsky(1995)的轻动词理论和Lin(2001)的事态谓语理论对这一问题进行了研究。本文的研究表明,日语间接被动句中的「られ」具有一定的轻动词特性,可以视作轻动词中表达“经验者”的事态谓语,在这种观点下生成的句法结构能有效排除井上(1999)的句法结构中动词对论元指定的干扰,并且达到自主指定论元的效果。

Previous studies on the specification of subject argument roles in Japanese indirect passive sentences have been contentious.From the perspective of generative grammar,this paper investigates the issue based on Chomsky’s(1995)light verb theory and Lin’s(2001)eventuality predicate theory.The findings of this study suggest that“rare”in Japanese indirect passive sentences possesses certain characteristics of a light verb,and can be considered as an eventuality predicate that expresses the Experiencer within light verbs.Under this viewpoint,the syntactic structure generated effectively eliminates interference from the verb’s argument specification in Inoue’s(1999)syntactic structure and achieves autonomous assignment of argument roles.
