摘要
作格动词是及物动词和不及物动词的兼类,其核心概念是致使交替。在构式语法理论框架下的配式分析(collostructional analysis),为研究作格的致使交替特性提供了新的思路。根据配式分析原理而设制的共有形符指数(STo I)、共有类符指数(STy I)和客体共有形符指数(TSTI)可以有效地揭示作格交替的性质与强度。研究逐一考察了汉英九对经典作格动词的交替强度,结果显示,作格交替性并非简单的"是否"问题,而是呈连续体分布的"高低"问题。研究结果还证伪了动词"变"的作格性。
Ergative verbs are characterized by causative alternation with both transitive and intransitive use. Grounded on theories of Construction Grammar, collostructional analysis can be employed to measure er- gative alternation strength. STol (verbal shared token index), STyl (verbal shared type index), and TSTI (theme shared token index) are indices employed to display the property and strength of ergative alterna- tion. The continuum tendency in causative alternation of typical ergative verbs reveals that causative alter- nation is not so much a "yes or no" question as it is a "how much" question. The research also falsifies the ergativity of "bian" (变), a typical ergative verb claimed in literature.
