An Analysis On The Ditransitive Construction Of Beijing Dialect And Minnan Dialect In Late Qing Dynasty

This article selects the ditransitive construction of Beijing dialect and southern Fujian dialect in the late Qing Dynasty as the research object.Based on the research of the ditransitive construction of Goldberg and Haspelmath,this paper attempts to propose the criteria for determining the ditransitive construction of Mandarin Language,and analyzes the coding alignment,syntactic forms and word order features of the ditransitive construction of Beijing dialect and southern Fujian dialect.In order to find the similarities and differences of the ditransitive construction in Beijing dialect and southern Fujian dialect during this period.Through research,we believe that the determination of Chinese ditransitive construction should have double standards: the semantic meaning of the sentence should be "transferred";the verb entering the construction should conform to one of the ten kinds of verb meanings listed by Goldberg.Based on this,we find the ditransitive construction of Beijing dialect and southern Fujian dialect in the late Qing Dynasty.By comparison,we find that the ditransitive construction of the two places is mainly manifested in syntactic form and word order.From the perspective of syntactic form,there are more syntactic form in southern Fujian than in Beijing dialect.There are two types of southern Fujian dialect and dative construction: "P(preposition)+ R(recipient)+ V(verb)+ T(theme)" and "V + T + P + R",while Beijing dialect has only the first type.The double object syntactic form of southern Fujian dialect are "V + R + T" and "V + T + R",while Beijing dialect has only the second type.From the word order point of view,the ditransitive construction of both places has the use of object preposition.However,only the object of the double object construction in Beijing dialect can be prepended,while the object of the double object construction and the dative construction pattern in the southern Fujian dialect can be prepended.And the prefrequency of the southern Fujian dialect is higher than that of Beijing dialect.This article will describe and analyze the ditransitive construction of Beijing dialect and southern Fujian dialect from the following perspectives: The first part defines the ditransitive construction.The second and third parts will describe and classify the ditransitive structure of Beijing dialect and southern Fujian dialect in the late Qing Dynasty from three aspects: coding alignment,syntactic form and word order.Finally,through data analysis,it is concluded that the core semantics of the ditransitive structure of Beijing dialect and southern Fujian dialect during this period is "given",and the edge semantics are "send","message passing","naming" and so on.And make a brief analysis of the extended mechanism of the object in the ditransitive structure.
