表特征凸显的流行构式“古希腊掌管X的神”

The Popular Construction “Ancient Greek God in Charge of X” with Feature Salience

摘要: 构式“古希腊掌管X的神”通过关系化实现特征凸显。结构上。构式由固定项“古希腊掌管的神”与可变项“X”组成，“X”可以为动词、形容词、名词及其他成分。句法功能上，存在有主体和无主体的两种情况。有主体时为评价义的现实句，主体被明确指出并赋予掌控“X”的能力，有关系化嵌套现象；无主体时为祈求义的非现实句，“古希腊掌管X的神”为施动的对象，语义重心转向“X”本身及其结果。语义上，构式“古希腊掌管X的神”体现原因和结果、现实与虚拟、隐喻与转喻。语用上具有客观程度凸显、主观情态凸显、语言形式凸显的特点。

Abstract: The construction “Ancient Greek god in charge of X” achieves feature salience through relationalization. Structurally, it consists of the fixed element “Ancient Greek god in charge of” and the variable element “X” which can be a verb, adjective, noun, or other constituent. Syntactically, it occurs in two variants: subject-bearing and subjectless. With a subject, it functions as a realistic sentence conveying evaluation, where the subject is explicitly identified and endowed with the power to control “X” featuring relational embedding phenomena. Without a subject, it functions as a non-realistic sentence conveying supplication, where “Ancient Greek god in charge of X” serves as the object of action, shifting the semantic focus to itself and its outcome. Semantically, the construction “Ancient Greek god in charge of X” embodies cause and effect, reality and virtuality, metaphor and metonymy. Pragmatically, it exhibits prominent features of objective degree, subjective mood, and linguistic form.
