Transitivity Analysis of the Chinese Ba Construction

本文从系统功能语法出发，通过及物性系统分析汉语把字句，将其分为单事件把字句和双事件把字句，其中双事件把字句包含结果类和位移类。我们发现，能构成单事件把字句的有物质过程、言语过程、行为过程、心理过程；对于这些过程中的不同动词和参与者来说，只有“受事性目标”具有进入单事件把字句的条件，而“结果性目标”和“范围”都不能进入。双事件把字句的第一事件可以是物质过程、言语过程、行为过程和心理过程，第二事件则多为物质过程、关系过程和存在过程，不同的过程在结果类和位移类的分布也很不一样。This paper provides a systemic functional analysis of the ba construction of Mandarin Chinese. The ba construction is divided into two types： the single-event ba construction, and the double-event ba construction, the latter including the result ba construction and the shifting ba construction. It is discussed that the single-event ba construction can express several processes-material process, verbal process, behavioural process and mental process. What is more, result goal and ranges cannot make it to be the object of ba, but object goal can. As to the double-event ba construction, its first event can express a material process, verbal process, behavioural process or mental process, while the second part can only refer to a material process, relational process or existence process. Due to different processes, the double-event ba construction presents different distributions between result ba construction and shifting ba construction.中文核心期刊要目总览(PKU)中国社会科学引文索引(CSSCI)0168-7
