摘要

占有性助词结构已被广泛用作非指称性诊断（Borer 和 Grodzinsky，1986 年）。Gafter（2014）对非指称性与结构可接受性的相关性提出了质疑。我们进行了一系列可接受性判断实验，以研究占有性助词结构作为非指称性诊断的有效性，并控制了可能的混淆因素，如生动性、确定性、可信性、词汇选择、占有类型和语境显著性。实验结果表明，与非指称动词（包括反身动词和发出动词）一起使用时，占有性助词的可接受性明显高于与非谓语动词一起使用时。我们的结论是，在结构上，非指称动词（而不是非ergatives）是符合语法的，并为数据的结构解释进行了辩护。

The Relevance of Unaccusativity to Possessive Datives

The possessive dative construction has been widely adopted as an unaccusativity diagnostic (Borer and Grodzinsky 1986). Gafter (2014) casts doubt on the relevance of unaccusativity to the acceptability of the construction. We ran a series of acceptability judgment experiments to investigate the validity of the possessive dative construction as an unaccusativity diagnostic, controlling for possible confounds such as animacy, definiteness, plausibility, lexical choice, type of possession and context salience. The experiments reveal that possessive datives are significantly more acceptable with unaccusative verbs than with unergatives, including reflexive and emission verbs. We conclude that unaccusatives, but not unergatives, are grammatical in the construction, and defend a structural account of the data.
