本文通过对古法语（OF）中介词和助词方向性的词汇编码的研究，探讨了介词短语解释中词汇语义和句法结构之间的相互作用。 OF 有一系列可以不及物地使用的方位介词和方向介词，它们被解释为方向或方面。我们认为，这些元素的不同解释是它们所处的句法结构的结果，而不是词典中系统的同音异义。我们首先表明，对于所考虑的类中的每个元素，可以根据其及物性属性和与其配对的动词类型来预测其解释。然后，我们提出对 OF 介词系统的分析，并展示单个助词的词汇语义和一般的构成规则如何共同创造我们数据中发现的语义变化。
This paper investigates the interaction between lexical semantics and syntactic structure in the interpretation of prepositional phrases through a study of the lexical encoding of directionality in prepositions and particles in Old French (OF). OF had a series of locative and directional prepositions that could be used intransitively, where they were interpreted directionally or aspectually. We argue that the different interpretations available to these elements are a result of the syntactic configurations into which they are placed, not a systematic homophony in the lexicon. We first show that, for each element in the class under consideration, its interpretation can be predicted based on its transitivity properties and the type of verb with which it is paired. We then present our analysis of the OF prepositional system, and show how the lexical semantics of individual particles and general rules of composition conspire to create the semantic variation found in our data.
