摘要
在认知构式语法的观照下,对热点句"John is easy to please"和"John is eager to please"进行探讨,可以确认这两句分属两个同形异义构式,分别为"评述受事构式"和"评述施事构式"。此两构式分别统制两个和四个典型性不同的多义承继构式,且存在另一相关同形异义构式。在构式中区分同形异义,能增加认知构式语法的描写精度和解释力。
Examining the hotly debated sentences of "John is easy to please" and "John is eager to please" in the light of Cognitive Construction Grammar, we have concluded that they typically inherit their form and meaning from two homonymous constructions, which function as Patient- Evaluating Construction and Agent-Evaluating Construction, respectively. In a wider field of vision, we then find that they dominate respectively two and four polysemous inheriting constructions with different degrees of prototypicality,and there is one more related homonymous construction. Our research has proved that establishing Constructional Homonymy may add to Cognitive Construction Grammar more descriptive accuracy and explanatory power.
