摘要
在前人研究的基础上将“主动形式被动意义”的研究引向深入。文章描述了英语中与之有关的常见句型并将之分类;讨论了这些句型中所包含的动词的共性特征——非宾格动词;并分析其内在的认知原理——EICM中涉及自发动作,表达中动语态,其中的关联是自然关联:语言的形式与意义密不可分。
Based on the previous research, this paper is designed to push forward the study of 揳ctive form but passive meaning?in English. In this paper, the description and classification is made to the relevant sentence patterns, and the verbs therein are explored which turn out to be characterized by a common property: unaccusative verb. To gain insight into their intrinsic cognitive principle, an analysis is further conducted, with the finding that in EICM these verbs deal with voluntary action, middle voice, and natural correlation. These indicate the close links between meaning and form.
