从语言的隐喻性看动词述谓结构

人类对于自然语言的处理依赖于隐喻和惯用语意义的理解及建构的认知过程，这一认知过程在动词述谓结构的理解中所起的作用目前还鲜有讨论。述谓结构如give a groan和cut taxes的理解过程包括多义动词的隐喻性扩展。认为述谓结构是从直义到隐喻和成语的连续体。文章讨论了动词述谓结构的隐喻认知过程及判断动词短语是直义性、隐喻性或完全习语性的标准。由于隐喻性的述谓结构是多产性的，认为将认知语言学与计算语言学结合起来可以为判断动词述谓结构隐喻性和可接受性提供比较有效的解决方案。

On Verb Predicative Construction from the Metaphoricity of Language

The interpretation of natural language depends on congnitive process of metaphor and idiom and the role of this process in the understanding of verb predicative construction is rarely discussed.This study proposes that these exists a continuum from literalness to metaphor and idiom.This paper also investigates the metaphorical process of verb predicative construction and the criteria of assessing which a verb phrase is literal,metaphorical,or idiomatic.The author maintains that combination of computational and cognitive linguistics is plausible.
