摘 要: 词素"化"可以实现形容词或名词的使役化。文章从句法致使的角度,对现代汉语里"X-化"类使役动词的形成提出一个可能的句法解释。在句法致使的视角下,"X-化"类使役动词是核心词X与轻动词Cause和Become句法合成的结果。"化"作为一个轻动词,具有重要的句法意义:它可以充当致使轻动词Caus或起始轻动词Bec,触发相应的句法推导,使"X-化"类动词的使动和自动用法得到一个合理的解释。汉语允许"X-化"类动词在致使和起始结构之间的有序转化,有力证明了文章的推导方案。"X-化"类动词致使能力的散失可以视作去致使化或作格化的结果。 The compounding of morpheme "hua" can render an adjective or a noun causative.In light of syntactic causativization,this paper proposes a syntactic account for the derivation of "X-hua" predicates in modern Chinese.Under the proposed account,a causative "X-hua" predicate is the result of syntactic incorporation between the head X and the light verbs Cause and Become.As a light verb,"hua" is syntactically significant,playing the part of Cause or Become,which triggers corresponding syntactic derivations that give rise to the causative and inchoative use of "X-hua" predicates.The proposed account is empirically evidenced by the observation that Chinese manifests principled alternation between causative and inchoative use of mono-syllabic rooted "X-hua" predicates.Their inability to cause can be attributed to decausativization or ergativization.
