Abstract

States, long considered a homogeneous event class, have been shown to actually decompose into sufficiently distinct aspectual types. Davidsonian and Kimian statives (Maienborn 2008; Rothmayr 2009), for instance, show a major contrast in presence/absence of event-related properties, including finer-grained (sub)class distinctions. Within the Davidsonian (mixed eventive-stative) type, a novel class has been identified using Spanish data as reference (Marín and McNally 2011). This class, dubbed inchoative stative is characterized by including a left boundary (Piñón 1997) marking the temporal onset of the state. We focus on documented Old Spanish data to argue that non-eventive (Kimian-like) left-bounded states are also possible. We note that productive combinations of the locative copula estar ‘be-loc’ with past participles of specific verbs produce distinct selectional and interpretive patterns defined by (i) pure states (homogenous spatial situation); (ii) no change-of-state/location denotation; (iii) left boundary. If correct, data suggest that inchoative stativity is not necessarily a Davidsonian type of predication; and that two distinct types of inchoative statives should be carefully differentiated under (more) specific criteria.
静态性和非静态性
长期以来被认为是同质事件类别的状态,实际上已被证明可以分解为足够不同的方面类型。例如,Davidsonian 和 Kimian 状态词(Maienborn,2008 年;Rothmayr,2009 年)在有/无事件相关属性方面显示出巨大的反差,包括更细粒度的(子)类别区分。在戴维森(混合事件-状语)类型中,以西班牙语数据为参考,发现了一个新的类别(Marín 和 McNally,2011 年)。该类被称为inchoative stative,其特点是包含一个左边界(Piñón,1997 年),标志着状态在时间上的开始。我们将重点放在有文献记载的古西班牙语数据上,以论证非促发性(类似基米安)左边界状态也是可能的。我们注意到,定位副词 estar "be-loc "与特定动词的过去分词的生产性组合产生了不同的选择和解释模式,这些模式定义为:(i) 纯状态(同质空间情况);(ii) 无状态/位置变化指称;(iii) 左边界。如果这些数据是正确的,那么它们就表明,非祈使状语不一定是戴维森式的谓语类型;而且,两种不同类型的非祈使状语应根据(更)具体的标准加以仔细区分。
