Abstract

Abstract This article presents a classification and clustering based study to account for the differences among five Chinese light verbs (congshi, gao, jiayi, jinxing, and zuo) as well as their variations in Mainland China Mandarin (ML) and Taiwan Mandarin (TW). Based on 13 linguistic features, both competition and co-development of these light verbs are studied in terms of their distinct and shared collocates. The proposed method discovers significant new grammatical differences in addition to confirming previously reported ones. Most significant discoveries include selectional restrictions differentiating deverbal nominals and event nouns, and degrees of transitivity of VO compounds. We also find that most variations between Mainland China Mandarin and Taiwan Mandarin are in fact differences in tendencies or preferences in contexts of usage of shared grammatical rules.
汉语轻动词变化和变体:比较语料库驱动的语法变化方法
摘要本文采用分类聚类的方法分析了汉语轻动词“从”、“高”、“家”、“金星”、“左”的差异及其在大陆普通话和台湾普通话中的变化。本文从13个语言特征出发,从不同的搭配和共同的搭配两方面研究了轻动词的竞争和共同发展。提出的方法除了确认先前报道的语法差异外,还发现了重要的新语法差异。最重要的发现包括区分动名词和事件名词的选择限制,以及VO复合词的及物性程度。我们还发现,大陆普通话与台湾普通话之间的差异实际上是在使用共同语法规则的语境中倾向或偏好的差异。

期刊介绍: Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory (CLLT) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality original corpus-based research focusing on theoretically relevant issues in all core areas of linguistic research, or other recognized topic areas. It provides a forum for researchers from different theoretical backgrounds and different areas of interest that share a commitment to the systematic and exhaustive analysis of naturally occurring language. Contributions from all theoretical frameworks are welcome but they should be addressed at a general audience and thus be explicit about their assumptions and discovery procedures and provide sufficient theoretical background to be accessible to researchers from different frameworks. Topics Corpus Linguistics Quantitative Linguistics Phonology Morphology Semantics Syntax Pragmatics.
