摘要:近几十年来进行体研究赢得了广泛关注。国外语言学界不仅关注进行体在不同语言中的形态差异;更关注在普遍语法视野下的语义解释。本文重点介绍了形式语义学框架下进行体语义研究的主要进展:从基于时制逻辑的分析到基于事件的分析再到基于部分—整体关系的代数结构的分析。对进行体语义研究的深入;启发我们对汉语的相关现象做更深刻的审视:一方面;基于英语建立起来的对进行体的单一形式语义刻画;无法满足存在两个进行体标记(在/着)的现代汉语的情况;另一方面;传统的认为"在"和"着"只存在"动态/静态"的二元对立的分析;面临无法解释的问题。
The progressive has gained much attention over the past few decades.Researchers focus on two aspects:the morphological variations across languages and the universal semantics.This survey concentrates on the works in a formal semantics framework,evaluating the literature from temporally-based approach to the event-based approach to mereologically-based approach.We further argue that the analysis of the Chinese progressive needs more refinements to some extent,and a unified explanation drawn from the facts of English only cannot be applied to Chinese.Chinese has two distinctive progressive markers(Zai and Zhe)and the traditionally held dynamicity/stativity distinction between Zai and Zhe needs to be reexamined.
