A Study On Causative Constructions With The Motivation Highlighted In Modern Chinese

"Cause" is an important concept in semantic categories, which exists universal in the human languages. The problem of cause has been the hot spot in the research of Chinese, many scholars have discussed it and have made abundant achievements. But in the past research, most scholars look from the typical causative constructions, have not pay enough attention to the special types. In modern Chinese there is a special kind of causative structure, for example’哪个瓶子摸了我一手油”、“感�'药吃死了老张"has not been a comprehensive and system inspection, despite occasional sporadic, but also disagree with each other and stick to his own view, this is enough to reflect the diversity of its name. Has some scholara call it" Inverted causative structure" or" the inverted causative sentence", that is the causer an cause reversed or inverted in the syntactic position. Some scholar called"object attribution sentence", refers to the speaker will result in the attributed object. There are scholars on its ownership category of cause negative attitude.This paper argues that from the structure, the particularity of the sentence is not the syntactic position inversion, but due to a specific component in the whole event to metonymy caused event.Will cause to the object to the view is not comprehensive,because there will cause attributed to the tools, materials, role, for example’’那床厚被子捂了宝宝一身汗”、”阿Q演红了严顺开”.Semantically, this is a kind of "self-causative structure", express the meaning of event body emits behavior caused unintended consequences". Unlike natural focus highlights at the end of the sentence "causative" structure, their special characteristic is highlighted in the important role the context. Therefore, this paper will be named "due to highlight the causative structure".This structure not only exists in the result complement resultative sentence, and the sentence of "得"、the sentence of "把" and other causative constructions are demonstrated. This paper starts from the research program of the four sentence patterns, the study of modern Chinese by highlighting the causative structure to do a comprehensive systerm. This study will be carried out in the construction grammar theory background, and combining the theory of metonymy salient, semantic integration, subjective cognitive linguistics to discuss. Specific research ideas are: firstly, understanding from the whole cause problems, and to determine the structure of this type in the status and role, secondly, study the case of the result complement resultative sentence, and the sentence of "得"、the sentence of "把", and carry on a detailed analysis of the structure, semantic features, the constructional meaning, the cause of formation. Finally inspection of inheriting these structure of motivation. This chapter is organized as follows:The first chapter is the introduction.The second chapter is introduce the research of Cause under the construction theory. Including the noun, led to the definition, cause of semantic analysis, the syntactic analysis, and investigation of the various parameters. And structure type theory. Constitutive theory is the main thesis of this paper, the origin of this chapter the theory of structure type and development, mode of theory’s main genres, Goldberg, compose the main ideas of the theory, it points out the advantages and limitations of mode theory.The third chapter to the sixth chapter is a case study. Respectively to study the Chinese the result complement resultative sentence, and the sentence of "得"、the sentence of "把". Chapter three case studies of ideas broadly similar, first led to structure of this kind of special type are defined in the structure of the position, they are special is to cause the body requires only one in the picture, therefore predicate verb of a sentence and the ingredients in the semantic point to be the messenger, and the separately from the syntax structure, semantic relation and discourse function has carried on the detailed analysis to them. Although this a few have similar table righteousness functions structure type, but they still have a lot of different place, at the end of each chapter cases will be discussed in this chapter the structure type and other structure pattern has carried on the comparative analysis of them in terms of structure, type, function of discourse the degree are different.Chapter 7 is the summary in this paper. Will make by copy number of class structure type and verb, threatening statements, passive sentences, comparative analysis, clarify the entanglements between them. The last for this kind of structure while inheriting the common reasons are discussed in this paper.Chapter 8 is epilogue.
