中動結構的認知闡釋（簡體書）

本論文對于西日耳曼語和漢語中的中動結構進行了全面的描述。并從認知的角度對中動結構的形成、構句制約及其語義、句法特徵進行了統一的闡釋。本論文主要做了以下四個方面的工作。 首先，本文確立了漢語非施事主語“起來”結構的中動地位，并對其語義、句法特徵進行了描述和分析。在過去的25年中，中動結構一直是國外語言學界研究的一個熱點問題，其中尤以對歐洲語言的研究最為深入，研究表明中動語義具有跨語言普遍性。相比之下，漢語中動研究卻相對滯后。現有的研究主要是在生成語法框架內進行的。通過用廣為接受的中動語義、句法標準來檢驗漢語非施事主語起來句[NP V起來Adj]，我們發現這一結構體現了所有的中動語義，具有跟西日耳曼語中動結構[NP V Adv]相同的語義特徵和相似的句法表征。據此我們確立了其中動地位，這一結構跟西日耳曼語中動結構同屬阿克馬和舒萊默所歸納的類型—中動結構。相對于西日耳曼語的中動結構，漢語中動結構能產性更高，事件的各種被動參與者甚至場景等都可以成為漢語中動結構的主語。 其次本文證明了目前流行的對中動結構的分析，如句法說和詞匯說，都存在較大問題，因而是不可行的
