A Typological Study of Applicative Constructions

通过类型学调查，我提出了基于原型的应用结构定义。具体来说，我假设了四个条件：一个是形态条件（即存在形态标记/助动词）和三个句法定义：1。是否在子句中增加了语法参数的数量，2。是否在语法上提升外围修饰词/参数；在应用程序时是否存在任何词汇（或特质）限制。

I proposed a prototype-based definition of applicative constructions through their typological survey. Specifically, I assumed four conditions : one is morphological condition (i.e.presence of a morphological marker/auxiliary verb) and three syntactic definitions : 1. whether or not there is an increase in the number of syntactic arguments within the clause, 2. whether or not a peripheral adjunct/argument is promoted syntactically, and 3. whether or not there is any lexical (or idiosyncratic) restriction in applying applicativization.
