动词后补足成分与受事位置

The complements and the position of patient in Chinese

汉语的受事成分主要位于动词谓语之后,但也可以在动词之前.但受事位于动词谓语之前有时是可选的,有时是强制的.其中动词补足成分音节的多少是促使受事前移的动因之一.本文考察结果表明:补语的音节一旦超过两个音节,句子排斥受事成分在动词谓语之后.同时补语的语义越复杂,越排斥受事成分出现在动词谓语之后.最后对这种现象进行了解释.

In Chinese the patients may occur in postverbal position or preverbal position. Sometimes the patients which occur in preverbal position are alternate, sometimes obligatory. This paper points out that if the complements are more than two syllables ,the patients are not allowed to occur in postverbal position and also the complements are more meaningful ,the patients are not allowed to occur in postverbal position.
