致使事件结构与英、日、汉结果构式中结果谓语的选择限制简

典型的结果构式是用单一结构表达复合事件，即致使事件，它由使因和使果两个子事件复合而成，这两个子事件分别由述语动词和结果谓语来表达。通过研究发现，英语和目语结果构式中结果谓语的选择受述语动词语义制约，而汉语中动词与结果谓语的组合相当自由。语言之间存在的这种差异，可以根据动词体及致使概念表达上的不同特点给出合理的解释。

Causative Event Structure and Selectional Restrictions on Resultative Predicates in English,Japanese and Chinese

Typical resultative construction indicates the causative event. It is composed of a narrative verb indicating the cause and a resultative predicate indicating the result. It is shown that the semantic structure of the narrative verb restricts the resultative predicates in English and Japanese, but not in Chinese. Such differences are explained herein based on the analysis of verbal aspects and different causative expressions in English, Japanese and Chinese.
