摘要
Langacker认为语言与视觉、感知一样有主观性。在观察世界时,观察者具有双重性,既是观察的主体,也是观察的客体。当观察者成为注意的焦点时,观察者变得更为客观;若观察者远离观察对象,观察者就更加主观。对be sureto主观化过程的描述说明,观察者视角的变化是该构式主观化的动因。在该结构中,观察者没有在形式上得到体现,句子主语是被观察对象,是全句的主题,因而既可以是有生的,也可以是无生的。本研究进一步论证了识解在句法结构形成和变化中的重要作用。
Langacker argues that language features subjectivity the same as visual and sensory perception do.In the process of perceiving the world,the viewer takes a double role,namely,the subject of perception as well as the object of perception.When the viewer becomes the focal point,he is more objectively construed;when he stays away from the object of perception and becomes part of the perception,he is more subjectively construed.Based upon this theory,we give a careful description of the process of subjectification of the be sure to construction,arguing that the subjectification of the construction is motivated by the change of the perspective of the viewer who is linguistically implicit in the construction.The subject of the sentence serves as the 'object of perception',thus the theme/topic of the sentence.Therefore,it can be both animate and inanimate.This study gives further evidence that the change of perspective of construal significantly affects the formation or change of a syntactic structure.
