Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the results of a study of the five causative formations of Classical Armenian. It focuses on the correspondence between the morphosyntactic complexity of causatives and the autonomy of the causee, which is specified based on the semantic type of the noncausal base verb. The correspondence proves to be incomplete as witnessed by areas of overlap in the lexical distribution of base verbs. While the competing lexical and synthetic causatives reflect the patientive and non-patientive readings of the first argument of the noncausal verb, respectively, the competing synthetic and analytic causatives rather express the contrast in the degree of affectedness of the causee, which does not fully depend on the semantic properties of the noncausal predicate. The semantic types of causation better correlate with morphosyntactic complexity than with segmental length in Classical Armenian.
古典亚美尼亚语的使役
摘要本文介绍了古典亚美尼亚语的五种成因的研究结果。它关注使词的形态句法复杂性与原因自主性之间的对应关系,这是基于非因果动词的语义类型来指定的。这种对应关系是不完全的,基本动词在词汇分布上存在重叠区域。虽然竞争性的词汇使役和合成使役分别反映了对非因果动词第一个论点的耐心和非耐心解读,但竞争性的合成使役和分析使役表达的是原因影响程度的对比,而这种影响程度并不完全取决于非因果谓词的语义特性。在古典亚美尼亚语中,因果关系的语义类型与形态句法复杂性的关系优于与词段长度的关系。

期刊介绍: Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
