在这篇文章中,我们展示了语法如何解释孟加拉动词,这是一种特殊类型的复杂谓词,由一个英语单词和一个孟加拉动词组成(例如/EksiDenT Kora/‘有一次事故’,/in Kora/‘to Get/Come/Put in’或/kOnfuz Kora/‘to Confuse’)。我们根据几个模型(如Kageyama,1991;Lieber,1992;MatSumoto,1996)来分析这些动词,这些模型认为复杂谓词在句法中必然形成。然而,像/in kora/或/kOnfuz kora/这样的英式动词对于这些方法来说是有问题的,因为还不清楚介词in或灵活动词confluse如何在潜在的句法结构中作为动词/kora/‘to do’的论元出现。我们认为所有的Benglish动词都可以根据全词形态学(Ford et al.,1997和Singh,2006)在形态学中得到满意的处理。
In this article, we show how grammar can account for Benglish verbs, a particular type of complex predicate, which are constituted of an English word and a Bengali verb (e.g. /EksiDenT kOra/ ‘to have an accident’, /in kOra/ ‘to get/come/put in’ or /kOnfuz kOra/ ‘to confuse’). We analyze these verbs in the light of a couple of models (e.g. Kageyama, 1991; Lieber, 1992; Matsumoto, 1996) which claim that complex predicates are necessarily formed in syntax. However, Benglish verbs like /in kOra/ or /kOnfuz kOra/ are problematic for these approaches because it is unclear how preposition in or flexional verb confuse can appear as the arguments of the verb /kOra/ ‘to do’ in an underlying syntactic structure. We claim that all Benglish verbs can be satisfactorily handled in Morphology in the light of Whole Word Morphology (Ford et al., 1997 and Singh, 2006).
