本文探讨walk、jump、march之类英语施事动词的致使性用法。这些原本属于典型的不及物性非作格动词,其及物性致使用法是词汇致使化操作的结果。在该类词汇性致使结构中致使外论元为致使事件的直接使因,而且必须是真正意义上的施事,而不能是工具或自然力。该类词汇性致使句进行句法结构推导的基础为及物性动词,而不是非宾格动词。及物性动词组VP充当及物性轻动词v的补足语,并由v负责引入新的施事外论元。

The cause external argument in such lexical causatives must be construed as an immediate cause of the causative event and can only be an agent in the true sense, but never an instrument or a natural force. These particular lexical causatives start their syntactic derivation with a transitive verb rather than an unaccusative verb. The tra...
