英语中动构式生成的认知研究

发布时间：2023-11-04 08:30

　　英语中动构式因其独特的句法语义特征而成为语言研究的热点,不少学者对其生成机制等问题进行了一定的探讨与分析,这为后续研究的进行奠定了坚实的基础。然而,已有研究主要从生成语言学的角度运用词汇生成和句法移位来解释英语中动构式的生成,未能在本质上揭示英语中动构式的生成过程和认知动因。因此,本文从认知语言学的角度对“S_非施事+V+Adv”类英语中动构式进行研究,采用定性分析为主的研究方法,借助Talmy的力动态理论和Langacker的认知识解理论,在总结英语中动构式的句法语义特征和对其子类进行描述的基础上,分析其生成过程并探讨其生成中各组成部分的选择限制条件。本文有三个研究问题:(1)英语中动构式的句法语义特征和子类有哪些?(2)英语中动构式是如何生成的?(3)英语中动构式在生成中的选择限制条件有哪些?针对上述研究问题,在收集并且分析语料的基础上,本文首先对英语中动构式的句法语义特征进行总结,并对其子类进行了描述。其次,借助Talmy的力动态理论和Langacker的认知识解理论,本文分析了英语中动构式的生成过程。最后,文章探讨了英语中动构式生成中各组成部分的选择限制条件...
