著作简介

Serial Verbs

《连动词》

Abstract：

This book provides an in-depth typological account of the forms, functions, and histories of serial verb constructions. Serial verbs, in which several verbs combine to form a single predicate, describe what is conceptualized as a single event. The verbs in the construction have the same tense, aspect, mood, modality, and evidentiality values, cannot be negated or questioned separately, and usually share the same subject and object. They are a powerful means of portraying various facets of one event, and can express grammatical meanings such as aspect, direction, and causation, particularly in languages where few other means are available.

In this volume, Alexandra Aikhenvald seeks to answer unresolved questions such as: What are the parameters of variation in serial verbs? How do serial verbs differ from other, superficially similar multi-verb constructions? How do serial verbs emerge, and what happens to them over time? What role do they play in the representation of event structure? The book uses an inductively-based framework for the analysis and draws on data from languages with different typological profiles and genetic affiliations. It will be of interest to researchers and students from a wide range of fields of linguistics, especially typology, anthropological linguistics, and language contact.

简介：

本书从类型学角度探究连动词结构的形式、功能和历时。连动词，与其他动词搭配组合成谓语，描述一个概念化的事件。连动构式中的动词共享主、宾语，具有相同的时态、体态、语气、情态特征和言据性，不能被单独否定或提问。连动词可以表述事件的体态、方向性和致使关系等语法特征。

该书讨论了以下几个问题：连动词的差异体现怎样的参数？连动词与多动词结构的差异是什么？连动词是如何产生和发展的？它们如何表征事件结构？本书对不同类型学特征和遗传隶属关系的语言数据进行归纳分析，为类型学、人类语言学和语言接触领域的专家学者带来一定的启发。
