根据Talmy关于运动事件的“词汇化模式”的类型学，英语是在动词词根中将“运动”和“方式”合并的语言类型，而日语是在动词词根中将“运动”和“路径”合并的语言类型。本文以黑尔和凯瑟的论元结构句法分析为框架，对英日两种语言的差异进行了解释。它扩展了黑尔和凯瑟对英日运动动词和方位/趋向P的研究方法，并表明，给定一个运动事件的“词汇关系结构”，英日之间的差异源于前者有多种趋向P，允许在运动V中插入一个运动方式动词，而后者有多种有向运动动词，路径P被纳入运动V中。这表明Talmy的词汇化模式受到一般句法原则的制约。
Abstract According to Talmy’s typology of “lexicalization patterns” for a motion event, English is the type of language that conflates Motion and Manner in the verb root, whereas Japanese is the type of language that conflates Motion and Path in the verb root. This article provides an explanation for why there is such a difference between English and Japanese within the framework of Hale and Keyser’s syntactic approach to argument structure. It extends Hale and Keyser’s approach to motion verbs and locational/directional Ps in English and Japanese and shows that given a “Lexical Relational Structure” of a motion event, the difference between English and Japanese derives from the fact that the former has a variety of directional Ps, allowing the insertion of a manner-of-motion verb into the Motion V, whereas the latter has a variety of directed motion verbs with the Path P incorporated into the Motion V. This suggests that Talmy’s lexicalization patterns are constrained by general syntactic principles.
