动宾结构中动词虚化的认知阐释

摘要

The author of the paper found no grammaticalization in the structure “V+ a look ( at)” from the angle of syntax, while from the point of cognitive pragmatics, the V is grammaticalized in sense which forms a Horn-scale and entails“look at”. And the author, from the most powerful motivation---experi-ence-cognition-language, interprets the formation of the grammaticalization of the V in the structure.%动宾结构中常有动词虚化现象，但是从句法学角度检测却没有发现“V+a look ( at)”中动词的语法性虚化，而是与同源动词结构“look ( at)”在词汇序列方面填入词槽时的方式不同，属于“look ( at)”短语的词汇化过程，与同源结构“look (at)”构成霍恩等级关系，并成为强势的表达式，内蕴了“look (at)”。在认知语用方面，引发“V+a loot ( at)”结构中V虚化的最大动因是“体验---认知---语言”。
