汉语次要谓语结构新探

论文摘要

本论文主要研究的是汉语普通话中次要谓语结构。通过对其细致地考察,以求解决下列两项核心议题：汉语结果次要谓语结构的句法结构；次要谓语的限制条件。对于第二项议题,具体地说,我们将基于性质形容词和状态形容词在次要谓语结构中的分布特点,探讨不同次要谓语所受的不同限制条件,及其相应的原因。针对上述第一个议题,本文在经过多种句法测验以及Lim(2006)对汉语次要谓语结构研究的基础上提出,结果次要谓语结构的内部结构关键取决于次要主语的属性；根据次要主语的被选择与否,结果次要谓语结构的内部结构可分为控制结构与小子句结构。根据Li(1998),Zhang(2001)以及Gu&Pan(2001)的研究,我们提出了五种诊断方法用来证明次要主语与主要谓语有无选择性会导致不同的句法结构,即：a)含“连…都”、焦点“只有”的结构；b)含“每…都”的量化结构；c)次要主语移位；d)动词复制结构；e)次要谓语的可选择性。对本文第二个议题,即次要谓语的限制条件的研究,我们主要限定于汉语中性质形容词和状态形容词作次要谓语的情况。我们发现,汉语中性质形容词和状态形容词都可以出现在次要谓语结构。我们证明,性质形容词和状态形容词分别属于个体性谓词与阶段性谓词,从而,我们可以得出结论：次要谓语位置能允许个体性谓词与阶段性谓词,而不是前人研究所说的只限于阶段性谓词。基于性质形容词和状态形容词只能出现在特定的句法位置,呈互补分布状态,我们还进一步讨论,次要谓语的限制条件如何随次要谓语本身变化而变化。此外,我们依据Yang(2010)对性质形容词和状态形容词的互补分布的诠释以及时态假说,为上述互补分布提供解释。
