摘要
英语及物动词后面所要求的必要成分称为该动词的补足成分。谓词性的补足成分是一个复合成分,由一个动词加上一个显性或隐性的动作主体构成。影响各类有谓词性补足成分的句子句法结构格式化形成过程的一个重要因素,就是语言单位的结构边界律。正是语言运用者对有关事件的结构及其边界的认识投射到语言运用上来,凝固成为有谓词性补足成分的句子运用的规则,从而促成了有谓词性补足成分的句子的句法结构格式化,成为三类不同的有谓词性补足成分句子表达格式。
In ‘John began to run/ John forced him to run/ John said that he would run’, the parts in italics are the predicative complementations (PC for short) to the verbs of the sentences concerned. A PC consists of a verb and its explicit or implicit agent. An important factor to motivate the grammaticalization of these sentences with PC is the function of the law of structure and boundary of linguistic units. The mapping onto the use of language of the recognition of the structures and boundaries of things in the world by human beings helped to fossilize the grammatical patterns of these sentences, thus bringing into shape their syntactic structures.
