On The Positioning And Swing Of Animacy In Gei Ditransitive Construction

�Animacy� is first introduced by Bernard Comrie from the biological category into linguistics.Bernard Comrie also established a basic sequence of Animacy.After that,the domestic and foreign scholars began to pay more attention to the research.Now,animacy theory has become one of the important theories in linguistic research,and it infiltrates into Chinese semantics,grammar,pragmatics,cognitive research,etc.This paper discusses the Gei Ditransitive Construction from the perspective of Animacy theory.Firstly,establish the scope of this paper.This paper discusses the Gei Ditransitive Construction is a part of give double-object construction.This paper only discusses �NP1+ Gei +NP2+NP3�,and not discuss the " Gei " as a preposition or auxiliary,or �NP1+V+ Gei +NP2+NP3�,etc.Secondly,this paper discusses the Animacy hierarchical sequence,and establish the baseline definition of �NP1+ Gei +NP2+NP3�,that is The typical semantics,typical NP combination and its Animacy of Gei Ditransitive Construction.Thirdly,on the basis of the analysis and real data above,discusses the situation of verb-noun combination and Swing of NP Animacy of Gei Ditransitive Construction,and find out the influence of Animacy on it.Finally,explaining the cognitive motivation and mechanism on the Positioning and Swing of Animacy in Gei Ditransitive Construction.
