Abstract


The construction grammar theory is the rise in the late 1980s, language research methods based on the theory of cognitive linguistics above, has become one of the focus of the international field of linguistics, domestic scholars have also been of great concern in recent years. Professor Adele E. Goldberg is the main founder and one of the representatives of the Construction Grammar, University of Chicago Press in 1995 published her first monograph Constructions: A Construction Grammar Approach to Argument Structure Structure: On yuan structure construction grammar research. \In the book, the authors explore the following theoretical questions: why the argument structure constructions (Argument Structure Constructions) has the significance of independent words, constructions explain what role the relationship of form and meaning of a small sentence constructions and What is the relationship between the structural formula, what does it matter? verb between how a systematic study of the structure type, as well as the structure-Nengchan degree how. The authors also ditransitive constructions in English, resulting in - moving sentences, Dynamic Structure, and the way Constructions four constructions carried out detailed analysis and interpretation. The first chapter Introduction describes the purpose and significance of this research, the second chapter is a literature review framework syntax four modes: Croft radical construction grammar of Fillmore Kay configuration syntax, Langacker cognitive syntax as well as Goldberg of meta-structure construction grammar. Which introduces the historical background and its basic viewpoints Goldberg construction grammar generated, and discusses the advantages of Goldberg that construction grammar. Chapters III and IV is the main part of this article, Chapter of research experience based on the Chinese to discuss their progress and limitations. The author believes that the Construction Grammar confirms the basic principles of cognitive linguistics on the relationship between syntax and semantics; analysis based on empirical facts intuitive; different frequency of use of the structure to get the same attention; human language syntax common to do a successful interpretation; clearly and specifically its object of study; meet the children's language acquisition process; the syntax system as its theories will total a dynamic process of change, you can successfully explain the the vocabulary syntax of the incentives; With in memetic theory can explain to some extent the active use of the parts of speech. Chapter IV discusses the limitations of Construction Grammar, unreasonable expansion of the concept of the structural formula to cover the difference between the two different types of language units, which also resulted in the sentence analysis tedious; unresolved syntax structure of the multi- The ambiguity problems; unable to explain the reasons for the formation of a structure constructions significance; applicable to the type of structure is also very limited. The last part is the conclusion.
