摘要
英语作格动词是词汇语义范畴内讨论的热点问题,有特殊的语义表征。按照词汇性质,作格动词是具有较强动作意义的使役动词,使役性诱因既可以是外来的、也可以是内在的,形成其客体既能出现在主位上,又能出现在宾位上的及物和不及物两种句式。基于此,作格动词在词库中被分为一价和二价两个次类。通过比较它们的词汇语义表征,从而认定致使义和及物性是作格动词一价和二价存在的词汇语义基础。
The English ergative verbs are issues of the lexical semantic category with special semantic representation. According to their lexical characters, the ergative verbs belong to the causative verbs with the strong action meaning. Their causative factors can be external and internal as well, which will lead to two sentence patterns with their theme in the subjector the object position of transitivity and intransitivity. Based on this, the ergative verbs in the lexicon can be divided into two subcategories： mono-valent and bivalent. By comparing their lexical semantic representation, the paper bases the lexical semantics of the ergative verbs-mono-valent and bivalent on the causative meaning and transitivity.
