连动结构类型的参数分析

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 本文从参数差异的角度探讨连动结构的类型。根据本文的讨论,动词移位参数可以推导出两种类型的连动结构:SVO型和SOV型。受事性的“强弱”本身不是参数,动词移位才是参数。根据分析,受事性的差异和连动结构各个成分顺序的差异最终由动词移位决定。连动结构宾语的出现和位置以及连动结构的句式转换均与动词移位的距离有关。动词移得越靠前,连动结构越容易违反语序-时序对应原则。这个发现还可以进一步在体标记的形态和无定量名短语宾语的分布等现象中得到印证,并且得到语言类型学证据的支持。

Abstract: The present study is mainly concerned with the types of serial verb constructions in terms of parameters. It is argued that the word order typology and the variation of serial verb constructions bear on the parametric variation of verb movement under the framework of generative grammar. The parameters of verb movement follow the order: the object/verb of SOV serial verb constructions＞ the object/verb of SVO serial verb constructions＞ the object/verb of single verb constructions. The further the verb moves, the more patienthood the object displays and the more tendency the constructions display to violate Temporal Iconicity. In other words, serial verb constructions arise from verb movement. The above contention is supported by independent evidence from linguistic typology, the morphology of aspect markers and the distribution of indefinite objects in serial verb constructions.
