上古漢語動詞界性初探

The Boundedness/Unboundedness of the Verbs in Old Chinese

動詞的界性是一種傾向性,儘管判斷動詞'有界'或'無界'主要依據其自身語義特徵,但外部形式參照、篇章環境都可能使動詞的界性發生改變。反過來,界性傾向不同的動詞對各種外部成分的選擇通常也存在差異。文章將上古漢語動詞界性的判斷標準歸納爲'自身意義''語法形式'和'語境信息'三方面,突出自身意義的根本性地位;同時認爲,'界性'與主觀識解相關聯,是一個側重解釋完句現象的概念。

The boundedness/unboundedness of verbs seems to be a kind of tendency.Although the semantic features of verbs are of great importance,the boundedness/unboundedness of verbs can also be influenced by some formal markers or contexts.On the contrary,different verbs generally cooperate with different formal markers.This paper considers lexical meaning,grammaticalform and contextual information as the three most crucial factors for deciding the boundedness/unboundedness of the verbs in Old Chinese,and emphasized the significance of lexical meaning.In addition,the boundedness/unboundedness has a close relationship with people’s construal of the world,which makes it quite important to sentence-completing.
