摘要

鉴于汉语普通话在塔尔米的二元语言类型学方面存在争议，本文从《古代汉语词典》（第 2 版）和《现代汉语词典》（第 7 版）两部权威词典中收集了汉语运动动词，对其进行了详尽的研究。通过对古代汉语中的 662 个运动动词和现代汉语中的 693 个运动动词的分析，我们发现汉语普通话在词法上经历了从动词框架到卫星框架的类型化转变。这种类型学转变似乎是由两股力量推动的，即单音节运动动词的减少和双音节运动动词的增加。细想一下，这可以归结为汉语中单一但占主导地位的双音节化过程，即两个具有广泛句法关系的（前）词根被词化成一个双音节词。因此，我们看到了一个有趣的案例，说明语音学和形态句法如何相互作用，影响语言的类型学属性。

Typological shift of Mandarin Chinese in terms of motion verb lexicalization pattern

Given the controversies over Mandarin Chinese in terms of Talmy’s bipartite language typology, this paper presents an exhaustive study of Chinese motion verbs collected from two authoritative dictionaries, namely, The Ancient Chinese Dictionary (2nd Edition) and The Contemporary Chinese Dictionary (7th Edition). An analysis of 662 motion verbs in ancient Chinese and 693 motion verbs in modern Chinese indicates that Mandarin Chinese has undergone a typological shift from verb-framed to satellite-framed as far as the lexicalization pattern is concerned. The typological shift seems to have been driven by two forces, the decline of monosyllabic motion verbs and the upsurge of disyllabic motion verbs, which, upon second thoughts, can be boiled down to a single but predominant process of disyllabification in Chinese, whereby two (former) roots that bear a wide range of syntactic relations are lexicalized into a disyllabic word. Thus, we see an intriguing case of how phonology and morphosyntax interact to impact the typological properties of a language.

期刊介绍： Cognitive Linguistics presents a forum for linguistic research of all kinds on the interaction between language and cognition. The journal focuses on language as an instrument for organizing, processing and conveying information. Cognitive Linguistics is a peer-reviewed journal of international scope and seeks to publish only works that represent a significant advancement to the theory or methods of cognitive linguistics, or that present an unknown or understudied phenomenon. Topics the structural characteristics of natural language categorization (such as prototypicality, cognitive models, metaphor, and imagery); the functional principles of linguistic organization, as illustrated by iconicity; the conceptual interface between syntax and semantics; the experiential background of language-in-use, including the cultural background; the relationship between language and thought, including matters of universality and language specificity.
