Abstract

Progressive constructions in Germanic are usually studied as progressive constructions—that is, exclusively so. I characterize this as a top-down approach to aspect, which, I argue, harbors the risk of overlooking relevant language-specific structures that are similar in form and meaning. This paper, therefore, advocates taking a bottom-up approach. Based on a case study of the prepositional progressive in Dutch (aan het-progressive), I claim that this approach is of added empirical and theoretical value. Drawing on construction-based theories, the relevant patterns—dubbed situational constructions—are analyzed in terms of horizontal constructional links.*
自顶向下与自底向上的方面研究:以荷兰语介词进行式为例
日耳曼语的进行式通常被当作进行式来研究,也就是说,完全是这样。我将其描述为一种自顶向下的aspect方法,我认为这种方法存在忽视形式和意义相似的相关语言特定结构的风险。因此,本文提倡采用自下而上的方法。通过对荷兰语介词进行式(aan - het-progressive)的个案研究,笔者认为这种方法具有一定的实证和理论价值。在建构理论的基础上,本文从横向建构环节的角度分析了相关的情景建构模式
