本文讨论了词汇使役动词与其反声(启动型)动词之间的及物性转换。它概述了动词的语义、句法和形态特征,从而确定了其跨语言稳定的核心以及不同语言之间的差异区域。文献中提出的主要理论分析路线是通过对词汇和句法框架内的词汇和句法框架内的描述的示范讨论来介绍的。本文介绍了前人对致使交替的研究成果,同时也介绍了较新的研究成果及其理论解释。最后,它谈到了仍有待结论性分析的方面。
This article discusses the transitivity alternation between lexical causative verbs and their anticausative (inchoative) counterparts. It provides an overview of the semantic, syntactic and morphological properties of verbs undergoing the causative alternation, thereby identifying their cross-linguistically stable core as well as the areas of variation among languages. The main theoretical lines of analysis proposed in the literature are introduced by an exemplary discussion of accounts within lexical and syntactic frameworks of word formation. The article serves as an introduction to the research on the causative alternation as it presents important results achieved in the earlier literature, but also touches upon more recent findings and their theoretical interpretation. Finally, it addresses the aspects that still await a conclusive analysis.
