Abstract

Abstract This paper surveys the valency-increasing constructions that apply to motion verbs in 49 genetically diverse languages. These include causative constructions, a variety of applicative constructions and the portative construction which is a valency-increasing construction that is lexically restricted to motion verbs. In the portative construction, the verb’s valency is increased by adding theme as a P-argument, but conceptually there is also an element of (co-motional) causation. However, the paper argues that the construction is neither causative nor applicative. Instead, the portative construction, which is frequent in the sample languages, should be considered a distinct type of valency-increasing construction.
增加运动动词的配价:搬运构筑物的情况
摘要本文调查了49种不同语言中运动动词的加价结构。这些结构包括使役结构,各种各样的应用结构和供语结构,供语结构是一个在词汇上仅限于运动动词的价递增结构。在祈使句结构中,动词的配价通过添加主谓来增加,但在概念上也有(共动)因果关系的元素。然而,本文认为这种结构既不是使役结构,也不是适用结构。相反,在示例语言中经常出现的搬运结构应该被视为一种不同类型的价递增结构。
