摘要多情态结构被称为具有特定意义或特定功能的复杂形式的常规配对，至少包括一个动词成分和一个动态成分。我们需要一种新的构式方法来解释这种多情态结构吗？要解决多模式的问题有哪些挑战？这一贡献的目的是提供一个准确的概念，即“多式联运结构”，并在此基础上为今后的研究指明可能的途径。本文选择谨慎地扩展现有的构式方法的范围，以便将非语言有意义的行为包括在内。尤其值得一提的是，尽管构式语法要求将多情态结构与语言构式等同对待，但在对多情态结构的本质进行更详细的、基于数据的理解方面，仍然缺乏大量的实证支持。
Abstract A multimodal construction is said to be a conventional pairing of a complex form, comprising at least a verbal and a kinetic element, with a specific meaning or a specific function. Do we need a new constructional approach to account for such multimodal constructions? What are the challenges to account for multimodality? The aim of this contribution is to provide a precise notion ‘multimodal construction’ and, on this basis, to indicate possible pathways for future investigations. The paper opts for cautiously extending the scope of existing constructional approaches in order to include non-linguistic meaningful behavior. In particular, it is argued that even though Construction Grammar invites for treating multimodal on a par with linguistic constructions, there is a huge lack of substantial empirical support to arrive at a more detailed and data-based understanding of the nature of multimodal constructions.
