本文探讨了英语动词 get 中的多义性，它可以表示占有、运动、因果关系、义务和状态变化等含义。该分析建立在将 get 分解为 [ingressive + ‘be’ + 介词] 的基础上（基于 Benveniste/Freeze/Kayne 对所有格结构的分析）；这个词汇条目允许当前的一词多义源自不同句法上下文中的大量重新分析。使用历时数据，我表明占有导致运动以及静态使用（占有和义务），运动发展成使动和起始，被动发展由此而来，不定式使动产生许可和侵入方面。每个新意义构建的出现都是由上下文相关的重新分析机制驱动的，该机制将语言变化解释为语言学习者重新分析句法和语义元素之间的对应关系的结果。
This paper examines the polysemy in the English verb get, which can denote possession, movement, causation, obligation, and change of state among other senses. The analysis builds on a decomposition of get (based on the Benveniste/Freeze/Kayne analysis of possessive constructions) into [ingressive + ‘be’ + preposition]; this lexical entry allows the current polysemy to be derived from a number of reanalyses within different syntactic contexts. Using diachronic data, I show that possession leads to movement as well as stative uses (possession and obligation), movement develops into the causative and inchoative, from which the passive develops, and the infinitival causative gives rise to permission and ingressive aspect. The appearance of each new meaning-construction is motivated by context-dependent mechanisms of reanalysis which account for language change as the result of the language learner reanalyzing the correspondences between syntactic and semantic elements.
