The Verb-resultative Construction “V Man” And The Research On Related Problems

This thesis takes the Verb-Resultative Construction(VRC)as the object of study from the perspective of diachronic and synchronic.With the regard to the diachronic,it mainly studies about evolutive pattern of“V Man”(V满)and lexicalization of“Chong Man”(充满).As for the synchronic,it mainly studies about the syntactic and semantic properties of“V Man”(V满).This thesis is composed of five chapters:The Introduction part, mainly introduces the object of study and expatiates the significance of the subject selection, and also gives a brief introduction about the research condition of VRC and “V Man”(V 满) studied by previous people. Apart from that, it also list the theories, research methodology and corpus sources.Chapter 1 focuses on the syntactic and semantic properties of the VRC “V Man”(V 满).Firstly, it discusses the syntactic and semantic properties of V. The meaning of V is generally apecific, and for itself has strong transitivity and self-driven. Secondly, it discusses the syntactic and semantic properties of “Man”. In the end, it discusses the syntactic and semantic properties of “V Man”(V 满). It also tells us the integrated level of “V Man”(V 满) is low,and the integrated level of its inner parts differs.Chapter 2 studies grammaticalization of VRC “V Man”(V 满) on the basis of ancient Chinese corpus, and depicts the historical evolution track of VRC “V Man”(V 满) in detail,including the single use of Notional Verb, producing of Serial-Verb Structure(SVS) and the formation and development of VRC “V Man”(V 满). In conduction, VRC “V Man”(V 满)comes from SVS “V Man”(V+满). During Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasty, it is in bud.During Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan Dynasty, it formally formed. During Ming and Qing Dynasty, itfurther developed and became mature.Chapter 3 anal analyzes the formational mechanism of VRC “V Man”(V 满) from three aspects on the basis of the Chapter 2. The three aspects are the syntactic and semantic factors,disyllabic trend and analogized effect. Besides, it also analyzes the formation motivation of VRC “V Man”(V 满) from the cognitive perspective.Chapter 4 mainly studies lexicalization of“Chong Man”(充满),and discusses its formational mechanism and motivation.“Chong Man”(充满)was from original SVS to VRC(Dynamic Filling Type Clutch),and it finally formed to be a VRC compound word by frequent use.Chapter 5 is Epilogue and other discussion, summarizing the whole thesis, facing the existed problems in the thesis and putting forward the direction that should be strived for in future.
