Abstract
This paper presents a novel syntactic analysis of the much-debated Dutch aanhet-construction, e.g. Pieter is aan het opruimen ‘lit. Peter is on the cleanup: Peter is cleaning up’. We show that the construction’s syntactic behavior varies with the matrix verb: progressive zijn ‘be’ versus ingressive gaan ‘go’ and slaan ‘hit’. Based on this variation, we argue that there are two aanhet-projections occupying different synchronic positions on a functional-to-lexical cline.
本文对荷兰语中颇有争议的“Pieter is aan”和“het opruimen’lit”等“aanet”结构进行了新颖的句法分析。彼得在打扫卫生:彼得在打扫卫生。我们发现这种结构的句法行为随着矩阵动词的变化而变化:进行式zijn ' be '与进行式gaan ' go '和slan ' hit '。基于这一差异,我们认为在功能-词汇渐变过程中,有两个词性投射占据了不同的共时位置。
