英语动结式一直是句法-语义界面研究的热点。我们认为,在这篇文章中,一个家庭的相关结构是需要考虑到他们的分布。我们证明了一些概括遵循的语义结构,我们所研究的:句子的句法参数结构预测的一般原则的参数连接;和句子的体结构是由体结构的建设子事件,这反过来又是预测的一般原则相关的事件结构的变化,扩展,运动,和路径。最后,结果的语义和句法解释了两个子事件之间的时间关系的可能性。虽然这些普遍性显然存在,但结果主义也有很多特质。许多特殊的实例和结构的小子类必须单独学习和存储。这种解释有助于证明我们在语法的总体观点中所共有的某些方面,我们可以称之为概念观点。在我们对结果式的处理只能在构式观点中陈述的范围内,它作为整个观点的证据。
English resultative expressions have been a major focus of research on the syntax-semantics interface. We argue in this article that a family of related constructions is required to account for their distribution. We demonstrate that a number of generalizations follow from the semantics of the constructions we posit: the syntactic argument structure of the sentence is predicted by general principles of argument linking; and the aspectual structure of the sentence is determined by the aspectual structure of the constructional subevent, which is in turn predictable from general principles correlating event structure with change, extension, motion, and paths. Finally, the semantics and syntax of resultatives explain the possibilities for temporal relations between the two sub-events. While these generalizations clearly exist, there is also a great deal of idiosyncrasy involved in resultatives. Many idiosyncratic instances and small subclasses of the construction must be learned and stored individually. This account serves to justify aspects of what we share in our overall vision of grammar, what we might call the CONSTRUCTIONAL view. To the extent that our treatment of the resultative can be stated only within the constructional view, it serves as evidence for this view as a whole.*
