Abstract

Abstract This paper seeks to improve the understanding of the conceptual structure of pluractionality, a bundle of functions denoting the plurality of events. By conducting a multidimensional scaling analysis on 366 marking strategies from the 183-language sample in Mattiola, Simone (2019. Typology of pluractional constructions in the languages of the world. Amsterdam & Philadelphia: John Benjamins), a spatial model is presented showing the semantic distance of pluractional functions as Euclidean distance. This quantitatively induced conceptual space differs in some way from the space proposed by Mattiola (2019) comprising data from only a small fraction of the sample. The analysis reveals that the conceptual space could be interpreted as defined by two prominent dimensions: a vertical dimension that represents the boundedness of events and a horizontal dimension that represents participant-oriented versus event-oriented plurality.
视觉化多元性的概念空间
摘要本文旨在提高对复数性概念结构的理解,复数性是表示事件的复数性的一组函数。通过对Mattiola, Simone(2019)的183种语言样本中的366种标记策略进行多维尺度分析。世界语言中复数结构的类型学。阿姆斯特丹和费城:John Benjamins),提出了一个空间模型,将复数功能的语义距离表示为欧几里得距离。这种定量诱导的概念空间在某种程度上不同于Mattiola(2019)提出的仅包含一小部分样本数据的空间。分析表明,概念空间可以被解释为两个突出的维度:代表事件有限性的垂直维度和代表以参与者为导向和以事件为导向的多元化的水平维度。
