摘要
本文采用了基于使用的结构语法(Goldberg 1995、2006、2013)、框架语义学(Fillmore 1982)的背景假设,以及一种定量语料库驱动的方法来研究语法结构的两个不同时段中词汇项之间的相互作用。该方法被称为共变collexeme分析(Stefanowitsch和Gries 2005;Stefanowitz sch 2013;Hilpert 2014),用于确定美国英语中to-不定式从句的外推结构中出现的强烈吸引和排斥的形容词和动词对。利用从COCA的学术子语料库中提取的数据,作者试图表明,在it is ADJ to V结构中,一些形容词和动词对的共同出现频率明显高于预期。此外,对同一结构的两个不同时段中collexemes的共同变异的分析结果似乎表明,这些时段之间的强相关性可以由所研究结构的框架语义知识和/或话语功能特性决定。
Co-varying verbs and adjectives of it-extraposed constructions with to-infinitive clauses in academic discourse: a quantitative corpus-driven study
This paper employs the background assumptions of usage-based Construction Grammar (Goldberg 1995, 2006, 2013), Frame Semantics (Fillmore 1982), and a quantitative corpus-driven method for investigating the reciprocal interaction between lexical items occurring in two different slots of a grammatical construction. The method, referred to as co-varying collexeme analysis (Stefanowitsch and Gries 2005; Stefanowitsch 2013; Hilpert 2014), is applied to the determination of strongly attracted and repelled pairs of adjectives and verbs occurring in the extraposition construction with to -infinitive clauses in American English. Using the data extracted from the academic sub-corpus of COCA, the author seeks to indicate that some pairs of adjectives and verbs co-occur significantly more frequently than expected in the it is ADJ to V- construction. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of the co-variation of collexemes in two different slots of the same construction seem to suggest that such strong correlations between these slots can be determined by frame-semantic knowledge and/or discourse-functional properties of the construction under study.
