提 要
本研究旨在探討「動詞」、「義項」、「信息原則」對雙及物構式產出之影響, 並以四個漢語動詞 (「送、發、丟、分」) 為例, 透過「義項接受度評分」與「成對描述圖片」兩項實驗, 考察「漢語母語者」與「日籍學習者」產出語句的差異。研究結果顯示: 其一, 受習得順序、構式搭配與動詞類別的影響, 母語者傾向將動詞「發、丟」用於與格構式, 而動詞「送、分」則同時可用於與格、雙賓構式, 日籍學習者多產出動詞前給雙賓構式; 其二, 當動詞義項分別表示現場給予或遠程給予意義時, 母語者傾向選用不同的構式以區分兩者, 日籍學習者僅在動詞「丟」的兩個義項呈現差異; 其三, 母語者產出句式時存在一定程度的信息結構意識, 而學習者尚無; 其四, 學習者與母語者偏好使用的構式有所不同, 且多有偏誤, 顯示日籍學習者產出雙及物構式時仍受母語或習得順序的制約。
Abstract
This study investigates whether Chinese native speakers and Japanese Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners are influenced by verb bias, polysemous senses, and information structure during the production of Mandarin ditransitive constructions. Specifically, the constructions under investigation include double object construction (DOC), prepositional dative construction (PDC), VgeiDO, and geiNVN. Four Chinese verbs, song “give; deliver”, fa “give; send”, diu “transfer; throw”, fen “separate; share”, are particularly investigated. We conduct two experiments, “Semantic Acceptance Score” and “Pair-Picture Description”, to compare the differences in production between native speakers and Japanese CSL learners. First, native speakers tend to use the verbs fa and diu with the PDC, while song and fen can be used in both PDC and DOC. Japanese CSL learners, on the other hand, prefer the geiNVN construction instead. Secondly, Chinese native speakers tend to choose different constructions to distinguish between verb meanings indicating on-site giving or remote transferring, but Japanese CSL learners only make this distinction when using the verb diu “throw; transfer”. Third, native speakers take information structure into account when they produce sentences, whereas Japanese CSL learners do not. Fourth, most of the constructions produced by Japanese CSL learners are different from those of Chinese native speakers and contain many errors. The results indicate that participants’ native linguistic background and the sequence in which the Chinese verbs were learned interfere with Japanese CSL learners’ production of Mandarin ditransitive constructions. That is, the current study finds that in the speakers’ cognitive processing of producing ditransitive constructions, the primary consideration is the tendency of different verb categories to collocate with specific constructions. Furthermore, when a verb conveys different semantic meanings, there are corresponding constructions that suit each semantic interpretation. Lastly, while native speakers exhibit awareness of information structure when producing ditransitive constructions, it is not the foremost consideration.
