Abstract

Abstract The paper focuses on the syntax and semantics of the French verbal prefix auto. It is proposed that auto is an intensifier stating that no agent other than the one specified in the clause (agent-focusing), or, in anticausative clauses, no agent (agent-denying), is responsible for the event. Syntactically, auto merges with a verbal projection, and the nature of the constituent to which it attaches determines and constrains the interpretation of the clause. The proposed analysis of auto provides support for generative approaches in which a v head introduces the external argument role, while a grammatical Voice head determines its syntactic realization.

摘要本文主要研究法语动词前缀auto的句法和语义。有人提出auto是一个加强词，表示除了在从句中指定的那个人之外，没有人对该事件负责(关注行为)，或者在反否定从句中，没有人对该事件负责(否认行为)。从句法上讲，auto与口头投射相结合，它所依附的成分的性质决定并限制了对该子句的解释。所提出的自动分析为生成方法提供了支持，其中v头引入外部参数角色，而语法Voice头决定其句法实现。

期刊介绍： Journal of French Language Studies, sponsored by the Association for French Language Studies, encourages and promotes theoretical, descriptive and applied studies of all aspects of the French language. The journal brings together research from the English- and French-speaking traditions, publishing significant work on French phonology, morphology, syntax, lexis and semantics, sociolinguistics and variation studies. Most work is synchronic in orientation, but historical and comparative items are also included. Studies of the acquisition of the French language, where these take due account of current theory in linguistics and applied linguistics, are also published.
