致使义处置式“NP_(1)+把+NP_(2)+VP”的历时演变研究

The Diachronic Development of Causative DisposalConstruction“NP_(1)+Ba+NP_(2)+VP”

学界对致使义处置式的研究大多集中于探讨该构式家族中不同小类的来源,但对某一具体构式的语义演变缺乏深入而细致的分析。因此,本研究以致使义处置式“NP_(1)+把+NP_(2)+VP”为例,基于CCL语料库,采用条件推理树和随机森林算法,详细探讨各槽位的特征变化及其对构式演变的影响。研究结果表明,在历时演变中,该构式呈现出从处置义到致使义的连续统,VP语义的变化起到了关键作用。随着致使义不断增强,NP_(1)对NP_(2)的控制力逐渐减弱,NP_(2)对事件的控制力逐渐增强。同时,VP代表的事件由单事件演变为双事件,从位移事件扩展到状态变化事件。本研究通过考察致使义处置式“NP_(1)+把+NP_(2)+VP”的历时演变,为深入探讨处置式构式网络的发展提供了进一步的思考。

Recent studies on the causative disposal construction have been concerned with the sources of different subcategories in the constructional family.However,there is a lack of in-depth and detailed analysis of the evolution of specific constructions.This study aims to enhance existing research by providing a finer-grained and more objective examination of the development of a particular construction.The case study is the development of“NP_(1)+ba+NP_(2)+VP”construction.Based on the CCL corpus,the NP_(1),NP_(2),and VP are semantically coded,and conditional inference trees and random forest analysis are employed to investigate the characteristic changes of each component and their impact on the constructional change.The results show a continuum from disposal meaning to a more causative meaning in its evolution.Throughout the process,the semantics of the VP demonstrates to be a prominent variable.NP_(1)’s control over NP_(2)is weakening,while NP_(2)’s controlling of the event represented by VP is increasing.Furthermore,the events represented by VP develop from single events to double events,and from displacement events to state change events.The study provides a diachronic exploration of the causative disposal construction“NP_(1)+ba+NP_(2)+VP”,intending to provide further insights into the overall development of disposal constructions.
