构式的催化效应

摘要

当下,以Golbberg为代表的构式语法理论大有成为语言学中的显学之势,而目前构式语法理论关注的热点之一是构式压制等问题：词汇义与构式义不一致时,构式可以赋予词汇原本没有的语义使其符合进入构式的条件。但本文的研究显示,构式与词汇之间发生互动时,不会赋予对方本身原本没有的新语义,而是在一定的语境条件下催化（激活）处于隐藏状态下的语义浮现到具体的句式中。在不同的语境条件下,或由构式起催化剂的作用,或由词汇起催化剂的作用。因此,我们认为很多时候构式与词汇都是多义的,构式与词汇之间的互动实际上是一种催化效应。%As a newly distinguished school in contemporary linguistics, Construction Grammar has currently focused on the phenomenon of coercion in constructions. It is held that when constructional meaning and lexical meaning are incompatible, they will coerce each other interchangeably, implying that an additional meaning will be parasitized in either constructions or lexical items. However, the present paper author argues that the so-called ＂additional meaning＂ is actually catalyzed from the lurking latency rather than newly derived. Thus, it is claimed that both constructions and lexical items are likely to be polysemous entities, functioning as catalyst in given contexts.
