Abstract 摘要
This paper aims to demonstrate that the yu-dative construction with the syntactic structure “V+DO+yu+IO” which is grounded in the SOCIAL domain, is a metaphorical extension from the caused motion construction grounded in the more basic SPATIAL domain. Since there is another dative construction with the syntactic structure “V+IO+DO” in Archaic Chinese, the semantic difference between the two and the diachronic significance of metaphorical extension in the coding of a GIVE event would be further explored. It will also be shown that there is an inherent affinity between dative and causative constructions as both the double-object dative and yu-dative constructions could be further extended to encode an event of causativity.

本文从构式语法(Construction grammar)和认知语法(Cognitive grammar)的角度讨論了上古汉语的“V+DO+YU+IO”与格结构。我们尝试证明上述的与格结构是从“V+DO+YU+IO”的“使之移动”结构(Caused-motion construction)发展出来的。文中也比较了上古汉语中的两类不同的与格结构,进而指出上古汉语中的与格结构和使动结构有密切的关系。
