초록
The paper demonstrates that the constructions of concrete-noun- plus-hata (e.g., meli-hata) are not different from those of predicate-noun- plus-hata (e.g., yencwu-hata). The metonymy AN OBJECT FOR AN ACTION IN WHICH THE OBJECT IS INVOLVED is activated in the former constructions so that the concrete nouns are interpreted as predicate ones with which the hata verb can combine. For example, in meli-hata ‘have one’s hair done,’ the concrete noun meli ‘hair’ is interpreted as conventionalized activities related to it, such as caluta ‘to cut,’ phamahata ‘to perm,’ tatumta ‘to trim,’ and so on. The metonymic account not only explains the special constructions in a unified way with other regular predicate- noun-plus-hata constructions but also provides further evidence that metonymy affects grammar, which has been claimed by many researchers including Panther and Thornburg (2000, 2004), Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Hernández (2001), and Thornburg and Panther (2011).
Abstract
The paper demonstrates that the constructions of concrete-noun- plus-hata (e.g., meli-hata) are not different from those of predicate-noun- plus-hata (e.g., yencwu-hata). The metonymy AN OBJECT FOR AN ACTION IN WHICH THE OBJECT IS INVOLVED is activated in the former constructions so that the concrete nouns are interpreted as predicate ones with which the hata verb can combine. For example, in meli-hata ‘have one’s hair done,’ the concrete noun meli ‘hair’ is interpreted as conventionalized activities related to it, such as caluta ‘to cut,’ phamahata ‘to perm,’ tatumta ‘to trim,’ and so on. The metonymic account not only explains the special constructions in a unified way with other regular predicate- noun-plus-hata constructions but also provides further evidence that metonymy affects grammar, which has been claimed by many researchers including Panther and Thornburg (2000, 2004), Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Hernández (2001), and Thornburg and Panther (2011).
