本文研究了派生状态词的语义,即派生形容词,这些形容词不需要有一个由它们派生的动词命名的在先(时间)事件,例如,在皮肤变黑的部分变黑。基于Gawron的(The lexical semantics of extent verbs,San Diego州立大学,ms,2009)关于状态动词变化的程度使用的语义的最近观察(例如,金的膝盖和小腿之间的皮肤变黑),肯尼迪和莱文的(变化的衡量标准:程度成就的形容词核心,牛津大学出版社,牛津,2008)变化理论,与先前的分析相反,表明完全组成的语义分析是可能的,并且因此不存在来自派生状态的用于在需要删除操作时不同于单词级以上的语义组成的单词形成的论证,如Dubinsky和Simango的分析(Passive and stative in Chichewa,Language 72:749-781,1996)。此外,这种分析与以前的分析相比,(杰克逊,《结果句、派生状态句和词汇语义结构》,博士论文,加州大学洛杉矶分校,2005 b; Condoravdi和Deo,第18届国际语言学家大会论文集(CIL 18),首尔,2008年)和非合成(Dubinsky和Simango,1996)正确地预测,正如一系列论证所表明的那样,派生状态动词的意义包含了它所派生的动词的意义,因此它与形态上简单的形容词在其所具有的意义类型上形成了根本的对比。
This paper investigates the semantics of derived statives, deverbal adjectives that fail to entail there to have been a preceding (temporal) event of the kind named by the verb they are derived from, e.g. darkened in a darkened portion of skin. Building on Gawron’s (The lexical semantics of extent verbs, San Diego State University, ms, 2009) recent observations regarding the semantics of extent uses of change of state verbs (e.g., Kim’s skin darkens between the knee and the calf) and Kennedy and Levin’s (Measure of change: The adjectival core of degree achievements, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2008) theory of change, it is shown, contrary to previous analyses, that a fully compositional semantic analysis is possible, and thus that there is no argument from derived statives for word formation differing from semantic composition above the word level in requiring deletion operations, as in Dubinsky and Simango’s (Passive and stative in Chichewa, Language 72:749–781, 1996) analysis. Further, such an analysis, by contrast with previous ones, both compositional (Jackson in Resultatives, derived statives, and lexical semantic structure, Doctoral dissertation, UCLA, 2005b; Condoravdi and Deo in Proceedings of the 18th International Congress of Linguists (CIL 18), Seoul, 2008) and non-compositional (Dubinsky and Simango 1996), correctly predicts, as shown by a range of arguments, that the meaning of the derived stative contains the meaning of the verb it is derived from and that it therefore contrasts fundamentally with morphologically simple adjectives in the kind of meaning that it has.
