Typological research into the correlations between constructions and event structures in Asian Languages

本研究的目的是运用建构分析的语言类型学方法，进行跨语言的言语语义分析，并对跨语言的事件结构变异模式进行考察和类型学分析。本研究的数据主要来自亚洲语言，这些语言在语言普遍理论中往往被忽视，并经常给语言普遍理论带来问题，本研究的研究结果有望从亚洲语言学的角度重新审视事件结构理论。项目组制定了详细的研究计划，收集了亚洲语言的相关参考著作/论文和广泛的数据，并进行了讨论和审查，将研究成果撰写成论文发表。该团队的类型学研究集中在两个主要主题领域，即结果结构和主体性/指示的语法化/惯例化。该团队还讨论了这种语言类型学对其他语言类型学研究的一些影响。主要研究成果如下：1)为跨语言比较提供了功能和结构定义的理论原型，并确定了导致其跨语言差异的几个因素。ii)对与合作结构相关的结构进行了一些对比语言学和（或）语法化研究；泰语中指示动词的语法化；英语、普通话和泰语中的杀人动词；汉语和泰语动词GIVE的多义网络。(3)对语言主体性进行了功能界定，并确定了其跨语言的表现结构模式。对运动指示语、经验指示语和社会指示语在语法化程度上呈现跨语言差异的运动指示语、内部状态指示语和名义指称语三种类型的表达方式进行了仔细研究，并提出了一些主体性倾向和隐含共相。少

The purpose of this study has been to conduct cross-linguistic verbal semantic analyses, and examine and typologize cross-linguistic patterns of variation of event structures, by utilizing linguistic typological methods of construction analyses. The data for this study comes mainly from Asian languages, which have been mostly ignored in, and often pose problems to, language universal theories, and the research results of this study are expected to serve to reexamine event structure theories from Asian linguistic perspectives.The project team has made a detailed research plan, collected relevant reference works/papers on, and a wide range of data from, Asian languages, and discussed and examined them to write up the research findings into papers for publication. The team's typological research has focused around two main topic areas, namely, resultative constructions and grammaticalization/conventionalization of subjectivity/deixis. The team has also discussed some implications of such … More linguistic typologies on the study of other language typologies.Some of the research results are as follows :i)Functional and structural definitions of resultative constructions have been made prototype-theoretically for cross-linguistic comparison, and several factors contributing to their cross-linguistic variation have been identified.ii)Some contrastive linguistic and/or grammaticalization research have been made on constructions related to the resulative construction ; grammaticalization of directional verbs as resultatives in Thai ; verbs of killing in English, Mandarin Chinese and Thai ; networks of polysemy of the verb GIVE in Mandarin Chinese and Thai.iii)Linguistic subjectivity has been functionally defined and its cross-linguistic structural patterns of manifestation have been identified. The three types of expressions, namely, motion expressions, internal state expressions and nominal references, which tend to show cross-linguistic variation in the degree of grammaticalization of motion deixis, experiencer deixis, and social deixis, respectively, have been closely examined, and some subjectivity clines and implicational universals have been proposed.
