Abstract


This paper, absorption and utilization the contemporary Western linguistics and psychology theory a reasonable portion of the three main features on the Chinese VO ~~ Ρ structure detailed description and semantic interpretations. Discussed in the text including Chinese Verbs single transitive and intransitive unergatives V range. Former, such as \If the latter to sleep on the floor \things. O to Ρ raised by Mr. Zhu Dexi \typical Patient. VO to Ρ in terms of syntax and semantics has three characteristics: First, in the case V single transitive verb, VO ... Ρ structure of the actual alternative off On yuan psychological recoverability (some of the major Discuss single transitive verb). Such as the phrase \But the the Patient argument does not \So we can say that the replaced argument (such as \The problems associated with it: the grounds on the recoverability of the original argument for that? Second, VO ~ Ρ structure of semantic ambiguity. Obviously, wash in cold water \These \Which means that they can not be inserted into the other ingredients. Or some specific meaning expression does not come out, or not at all acceptable for everyone. If he wash in cold water, and he ate the mother-in-law \. In this paper, the VO ~ Ρ structure alternative argument recoverability explanation reasoning and other related theories based on metonymy and traceability. The traditional view is that metonymy is a rhetorical device, However, with the emergence and development of cognitive linguistics, metonymy is increasingly being considered as a cognitive way people understand things around. Language reflects the thinking of the people, through the analysis and understanding of the language can be deduced from the way of thinking and speaking of the true intentions of people understand things. VO ~ Ρ structure ambiguity explained in this article commence from the following perspectives: (1) prototype theory and inverse relationship. The prototype agent on Patient constitute semantic the converse relationship \\people) constitute a subjective Converse challenges. Canteen food in people's minds is always delicious meals at home, the health situation is not very good, but for some frustration, people still want to select in the canteen. (2) construal theory and information structure. Construal theory over the past decade Applied Psychology latest research results. This view is that people with varying degrees of interpretation of the level of mental representation of things, that is, the level of abstraction different. The psychological distance between people perception and cognitive object is the main factor affecting the level of explanation. VO ~ Ρ structure described event or state is to highlight certain aspects of the characteristics, and therefore have different information interpretation. (3) Construction view of language. VO to Ρ O ~ Ρ thematic roles, we mainly construction grammar Goldberg explained. The structure itself has a meaning of the verb, verb meaning and construction meaning integration, the original argument structure may change, at the same time related argument thematic roles may change or ambiguity. V and O to Ρ can not be separated from the structure characteristics, mainly to explain the use of grammar theory and the Pustejovsky generate common vocabulary theory group (co-composition). Repeat is mainly due to a syntax, to repeat eventually lead to relatively fixed on the syntactic structure of a specific meaning, other ingredients can not be inserted to the destruction of their fixed form and meaning. From the total group point of view to explain, V OP structure in the sense of the richness from the V and OP proximity, proximity to achieve the structural components of the sentence surface adjacent. Any component into the the proximity conditions will be destroyed, to convey the meaning will therefore be lost.
