Abstract

This paper investigates the aspectual potential of posture verb pseudo-coordination in spoken German. In a corpus study of sitzen ‘sit’ and stehen ‘stand’, it is shown that despite a preference for activity verbs, verbs of all aspectual classes occur in the second conjunct. The posture verb imposes its durative meaning component on the second verb, thus making a progressive interpretation of the construction possible. Apart from this emergent aspectual function, German posture verb pseudo-coordination has a subjective function (conveying the speaker’s beliefs about the subject referent’s stance), and a discourse pragmatic function (information packaging).*
德语口语中的伪协调Sitzen和Stehen:一个突现进展方面的例子?
本文研究了德语口语中体态动词伪配合的方面潜力。一项关于sitzen“坐”和stehen“站”的语料库研究表明,尽管人们更喜欢使用活动动词,但所有方面类的动词都出现在第二个连词中。姿势动词把它的历时意义成分加到第二个动词上,从而使对结构的进行解释成为可能。除了这种突现的方面功能外,德语体态动词伪配合还具有主观功能(传达说话人对主语所指立场的信念)和语篇语用功能(信息包装)*
