현대 중국어 수량N1+VP+수량N2 구문 연구 - 구문상속 개념을 통한 일반화 관계 포착

Abstract

This paper assumes that the form of quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 is the construction of the construction grammar, and attempts to capture the generalization that exists between the different types of quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 construction. Based on existing studies and various examples, we classified quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 construction into seven categories according to their semantic roles. We tried to find out the prototype construction among these, and we argued that type 1 is the prototype construction. There are four grounds for an argument. First, Type 1 is the greatest in terms of the significance of the foreground-background reversal phenomenon. Quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 construction arranges participants differently from our common sense. This marked arrangement implies a specific intention, we can regard the intention as 'available'. Thus, the degree of foreground-background reversal phenomenon has an important status. Second, the type 1 matches the number of construction argument and the number of verb's argument, whereas type 4 does not. The the number of construction argument and the number of verb's argument must be matched. Third, there were many verbs that had <theme agent> as a mandatory argument in many types. This can be seen as the result that type 1 is a prototype construction and it has been extended to other constructions. Fourth, Type 4 is also the same as type 1 in that it is in the order of 'object +V+human'. In other words, type 4 was derived by type 1. We discussed the construction argument of the quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 construction. Although the use or user argument is not a general argument, it was discussed why setting up such argument is necessary and on what grounds it could be established. This paper also discussed the systematic relationship existing among the seven types of quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 construction based on the construction inheritance. As a result, we found out the quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 constructions are organically related to each other through polysemy link. The prototype quantity N1+VP+quantity N2 construction is their template, and they were derived and developed through this prototype construction.
