摘要

语言在其言语词汇中显示出对及物、不及物或未指定词根的整体偏好，并相应地使用派生具有不同价的相关概念的过程(参见Nichols, Johanna, David A. Peterson & Jonathan Barnes. 2004)。及物化和反及物化语言。语言类型学149 - 211)。当应用于心理动词时，这种分类尤其相关，因为变量连接是该领域广泛认可的特征。本文报道了一项大型类型学研究的结果，该研究涉及来自15个语系的26种语言，旨在调查心理交替中的方向性。在我们的数据中，大多数语言都表现出对其中一种替代策略(增强，减少，无向)的偏好，这种偏好在他们的心理清单中普遍存在，而替代模式则很少出现。此外，欧洲的印欧语系在心理领域的非及物化方面表现突出，而及物化和不明确的语言则没有表现出区域模式。此外，我们发现对齐类型对交替策略的发生有显著影响，即在具有负向特质的语言中，减少策略的发生频率显著低于不具有负向特质的语言。我们的数据还显示了无向策略的正向效应，这意味着无向策略对在具有消极特征的语言中明显更频繁。

Directionality in the psych alternation: a quantitative cross-linguistic study

Languages display global preferences for transitive, intransitive or underspecified roots in their verbal lexicon and correspondingly for the use of processes for deriving related concepts with different valency (cf. Nichols, Johanna, David A. Peterson & Jonathan Barnes. 2004. Transitivizing and detransitivizing languages. Linguistic Typology 8. 149–211). This classification is particularly relevant when applied to psych verbs, since variable linking is a widely recognized feature of this domain. This paper reports on the results of a larger typological study, involving 26 languages from 15 language families, aimed at investigating directionality in the psych alternation. In our data, most languages show preferences for one of the alternation strategies (augmented, reduced, undirected) which is then pervasive in their psych inventory, while the alternative patterns are marginally represented. Furthermore, the Indo-European languages of Europe stand out in being detransitivizing in the psych domain whereas transitivizing and underspecified languages do not show areal patterns. Moreover, we found a significant impact of alignment type on the occurrence of alternation strategies to the effect that reducing strategies are significantly less frequent in languages with ergative traits compared to languages without ergative traits. Our data also showed a positive effect of alignment in the undirected strategies meaning that undirected pairs are significantly more frequent in languages with ergative traits.

期刊介绍： Linguistic Typology provides a forum for all work of relevance to the study of language typology and cross-linguistic variation. It welcomes work taking a typological perspective on all domains of the structure of spoken and signed languages, including historical change, language processing, and sociolinguistics. Diverse descriptive and theoretical frameworks are welcomed so long as they have a clear bearing on the study of cross-linguistic variation. We welcome cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of linguistic diversity, as well as work dealing with just one or a few languages, as long as it is typologically informed and typologically and theoretically relevant, and contains new empirical evidence.
