摘要
英语中动构式(EMC)作为一个独立的构式,是一个句法、语义、功能的统一体,其构式义为:主语具有通过谓语所表述的行为方式呈现出的某种属性或状态。EMC具有典型和非典型句法表现形式。典型EMC句法形式可描写为[S(V+ADV)],其中S为受事,V是主动语态形式的谓语动词,和其后的方式副词ADV语义关系紧密,构成结构整体,共同行使对主语述谓的功能。非典型EMC句法形式可描写为[S(V+NP)],其中S为工具或处所,V是主动形式的谓语动词,NP通常为施事角色。EMC的典型语义特征有:主语非施事性、非事件性、情态性。
As an independent construction in English grammar, EMC is an integrated union of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties. Its constructional meaning is that the subject of EMC bears some particular properties or attributes that are realized by the action manner represented by the verb. The syntactic form of the typical EMC is [S（V ＋ ADV） ], in which S is the PATIENT,V is in the active form and functions as the predicate along with the ADV. The syntactic form of the non-typical EMC is [S（V ＋ NP） ], in which S plays the role of INSTRUMENT or LOCATION, V is in the active form, and NP is usually the AGENT. The typical semantic properties are： non- agent subjectivity, non - eventivity and modality.
