摘要

本文研究了将动物名词转换为动词的动机以及由此产生的感觉。在批判性地考虑了以往对动物动词意义的描述及其可能的来源之后，本文提出了一个论点，即动物动词在语义上并不统一，因此不能被视为一个独立的概念范畴，也不能对其进行分析。然后，我们从基于框架的指称转换的角度重新解释了以前的研究结果。研究表明，动物动词与英语中的其他指称动词一样，是由相同的语法概括产生的，其隐喻性似乎是其语法转换行为的伴随因素而非驱动因素。

What’s Dog Got to Do With It? Motivation Behind Denominal (Animal) Verbs

This paper investigates the motivation behind denominal conversion of animal nouns to verbs as well as their resultant senses. Upon critical consideration of previous accounts of animal verb senses and their possible sources, the argument is put forward that animal verbs are not uniform in their semantics and cannot therefore be considered a separate conceptual category or analysed as such. Previous findings are then reinterpreted from the point of view of frame-based accounts of denominal conversion. Animal verbs are shown to be generated by the same grammatical generalisations as other denominal verbs of English, with their metaphoricity appearing to be a concomitant rather than a driving factor in the grammatical act of their conversion.

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
