摘要

近年来,语言学研究越来越关注使用新的方法和工具来分析文本语料库提供的真实语言数据。最可靠的基于语料库的方法之一是结构分析,由A. Stefanowitsch和S. Th.开发。葛瑞斯。该方法通过统计语料库分析,通过测量一个结构与填充其主槽的词汇项之间的相互关联/排斥程度来检验语法结构的语义。本文论证了运用组合结构分析来研究一种带有显性主语的英语非增广分离结构的语义的可行性,这是一种由(亲)名义主语和分词I作为谓语组成的二元结构的非有限结构,如[ВКЕС [Subj腮红][Pred burning suddenly]]。使用R统计软件和脚本对BNC-BYU语料库中抽取的经验数据进行结构分析,我们确定了动词,这些动词显示出对谓词槽的显著吸引力。对最具吸引力的动词进行语义分析,可以确定与给定结构联系最密切的语义动词类别。这种结构似乎特别吸引涉及身体的动词、发射动词、运动动词、存在动词、触摸动词和感知动词。这些动词属于状态和过程的方面类。分析证明了结构[ВКЕС with-less[Subj general名词][动词分词І]]的语义设置了限制,只使用那些参数与该结构定义的语义角色兼容的动词填充其谓词槽。在其原型意义上,所分析的分离结构描述了一种情景,在这种情景中,主体(矩阵子句的主语)在状态/过程中有一个分词(结构的主语)(由结构的谓语-分词I表示)。研究的证据表明,结构分析极大地促进了我们对语法结构及其意义的理解。显然,这些只是初步的发现,对于其他类型的英语外显主语分离结构的句法语义的进一步研究是值得的。

SEMANTICS OF GRAMMATICAL CONSTRUCTION: CORPUS AND QUANTITATIVE ASPECT
Recently, much research in linguistics has become increasingly interested in the use of new methods and tools to analyze authentic linguistic data provided by text corpora. One of the most reliable corpus-based methods is the collostruction analysis, developed by A. Stefanowitsch and S. Th. Gries. Through statistical corpus analysis, this method examines semantics of grammatical construction by measuring the degree of mutual association/ repulsion between a construction and lexical items flling its main slot. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of applying the collostructional analysis to study semantics of one type of the English unaugmented detached construction with explicit subject, a non-fnite construction of a binary structure consisting of a (pro)nominal subject and Participle I as a predicate, as in [ВКЕС [Subj cheeks][Pred burning suddenly]]. Using R statistical software and the script for the collostructional analysis on empirical data drawn from the BNC-BYU corpus, we identify verbs, which reveal signifcant attraction to the predicate slot. The semantic analysis of the most strongly attracted verbs allows determining the semantic verb classes most closely associated with the given construction. It appears that the construction particularly attracts verbs involving the body, verbs of emission, verbs of motion, verbs of existence, touch verbs, and verbs of perception. These verbs belong to the aspectual classes of state and process. The analysis proves that the semantics of the construction [ВКЕС with-less[Subj general noun][Verb Participle І]] sets restrictions on flling its predicate slot with only those verbs whose arguments are compatible with the semantic roles defned by the construction. In its prototypical meaning the analyzed detached construction verbalizes a scenario in which Agent (the subject of the matrix clause) has a Partitive (the subject of the construction) in State/ Process (expressed by the predicate of the construction — Participle I). The evidence from the study suggests that the collostructional analysis substantially advances our understanding of grammatical constructions and their meaning. Clearly, these are only preliminary fndings and further studies regarding collostructional semantics of other types of English detached constructions with explicit subject would be worthwhile.
