摘要

本文比较了“我承诺(你)+X”和“我保证(你)/X”结构的结构和功能性质,其结构和功能围绕着说话人承诺使一种情况发生和/或保证嵌入条款X的有效性,分析了《当代美国英语语料库》中563个I promise结构的口语表征和398个I assurance结构的表征。共确定了三种类型的构念:连词、认知语气,或两者兼而有之。虽然我保证结构可以有这三种结构中的任何一种,但我保证结构从来没有单独的同情结构。在心理空间理论中,本文认为,说话者对焦点情境发生的承诺必然涉及“我承诺”结构的默认概念化,而不是另一个。频率数据表明,独特的概念结构激发了它们的函数分布。

A Cognitivist Approach to I promise and I guarantee Constructions
This paper compares the constructional and functional properties of I promise (you) + X and I guarantee (you) + X constructions, whose construal revolves around the speaker’s commitment to making a situation happen and/or to vouching for the validity of the embedded clause X. Taking a usage-based perspective, it analyzes 563 spoken tokens of I promise constructions and 398 tokens of I guarantee constructions from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (coca). Three types of construals were identified: commissive, epistemic modal, or both. While the I promise construction can have any of the three, the I guarantee construction never has the commissive construal alone. Working within mental-spaces theory, this paper contends that the speaker’s commitment to the occurrence of the focal situation is necessarily involved in the default conceptualization of I promise constructions, but not of the other. The frequency data indicate that the distinctive conceptual structures motivate their functional distributions.
