藏缅语，尤其是拉祜语，以其明显的容易将两个或两个以上的动词串在一起或通过简单的并列形成复杂的动词短语而著称。拉祜族动词的连词本身就很有趣；但本文的主要目标是表明这种现象也提出了一些关于语义和语法相互关系的非常普遍的问题。具体来说，有一种明确的情况表明，单个动词的固有语义特征实际上决定了连接的结构描述。
Abstract The Tibeto-Burman languages In general, and Lahu in particular, are remarkable for the apparent ease with which two or more verbs may be strung together or concatenated by simple juxtaposition to form complex verb phrases. 1 Lahu verb concatenation is of considerable interest for Its own sake; but it will be a major goal of this paper to show that this phenomenon also raises some very general questions concerning the interrelationship of semantics and grammar. Specifically, there is a well-defined class of cases where the evidence Indicates that It is the Inherent semantic features of individual verbs which actually determine the structural descriptions of concatenations.
