HAKKA VERBS OF REMOVAL: INTEGRATION OF VERBAL MEANINGS AND [VX] CONSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

This paper aims to explore verbs of removal in Hakka with respect to the relationship between form and meaning and has the following claims: first, we have analyzed verbs of removal in Hakka through the modified two-level meaning model. The modified model comprises several elements: the L-meaning level, the P-meaning level, frame, and thematic core tiers. Furthermore, the semantic roles display a core-peripheral continuum pattern in the conceptual structure of the verbs, manifested by [V X] constructions.

本文以客語移除類動詞為研究對象探索語意和形式的關係。動詞的語義透過詞彙分解化、概念結構、詞彙化、框架語義和顯像等機制帶出。後以Goldberg (1995, 2006)的構式理論為基礎，運用Iwata (2005a, b)建議的修正模式，對動詞和結構之間的整合，提出更精細、更詳盡的解釋。根據前述方法，我們初步將移除類動詞分為六個次分類，並呈現出他們在結構上被顯像的論元。最後帶入Iwata提出的模組，分析各次分類動詞和不同句子結構的結合情形和其後的語義表現。
