摘要
本文在新构式主义视角下讨论汉语事件结构中的时量短语在句法推导中的作用。本文认为时量词具有整量词的特征,因此在DP中占据核心位置,名词通过“的”与时量词连接。时量短语整体合并于内时体标示词,以时间长度衡量事件体量。但在一些情况下时量词和名词可以分置于两处,时量词变成动词的补充,由名词界定事件的体量。本文分析指出,动词和宾语在句法上未必具有严格的选择关系,表面上差异明显的成分在句法上可能占据相同的位置,在事件结构中起类似的作用。
This paper discusses the time duration phrase in the syntactic derivation of Mandarin event structure from a neo-constructionist perspective.I propose that the time word need to merge with the object noun to form DP structure,in which the former is the head because of its function as a massifier and the latter is introduced by the particle de.The whole phrase merges at[Spec,AspQP]and measures the event with time length.But there are cases in which the time word and the noun occupy different positions in the predicate domain.In these cases,the time word supplements the semantics of the verb while the object noun quantifies the event.This analysis shows that there’s no strict selection relation between the verb and the object in syntax,and different phrases may have the same syntactic status and similar functions in event structure.
