摘要本文将探讨标准德语口语中位置动词的意义和用法。方位动词是指那些可能出现在回答“where”问句的基本构式中的动词，即所谓的基本方位构式。在这类动词中，我们主要关注那些用来描述无生命的可移动物体的位置。我们将证明，德语表现出位置（或“多动词”）语言的特点，即，在BLC中使用相对大量动词的语言。在我们的数据中使用最频繁的十个位置词是stehen 'stand'，liegen 'lie'，hängen 'hang'，lehnen 'lean'，remarken 'be in tight fit，be stuck'，klemmen 'be stuck，be jammed'，kleben 'stick by means of glue'，remarken 'adhere'，schwimmen 'be afloat in liquid'和schweben 'be afloat'。我们将确定的条件下，位置动词的使用，并为他们提供一个语义表征，特别注意替代分类，模糊边界和原型效应。
Abstract In this paper we will investigate the meaning and use of positional verbs in colloquial Standard German. Positional verbs are defined as those verbs which may appear in the basic construction that functions as an answer to a “where”-question, the so-called Basic Locative Construction (BLC). Within this class of verbs, we focus on those positionals which are used to describe the configuration of inanimate movable objects. We will demonstrate that German exhibits the characteristics of a positional (or “multiverb”) language, i.e., a language that uses a comparatively large set of verbs in the BLC. The ten positionals used most frequently in our data are stehen ‘stand’, liegen ‘lie’, hängen ‘hang’, lehnen ‘lean’, stecken ‘be in tight fit, be stuck’, klemmen ‘be stuck, be jammed’, kleben ‘stick by means of glue’, haften ‘adhere’, schwimmen ‘be afloat in liquid’, and schweben ‘be afloat’. We will identify the conditions under which the positional verbs are used and provide a semantic characterization for each of them, paying particular attention to alternative categorizations, fuzzy boundaries and prototype effects.
