중국어의 이동타동구문과 ‘V+P{給/與}+OR+OT’ 구문

초록

The purpose of this paper is to account for the diachronic change of ‘V+P+OR+OT’, one of ditransitive constructions in Chinese. In modern Chinese, the argument alignment pattern of ‘V+P+OR+OT’ construction is the same as that of ‘V+OR+OT’ construction except for having a ‘P’ following ‘V’. But these two constructions have undergone different diachronic changes. According to the diachronic investigation of Chinese corpus, there is a strong possibility to assume that the ‘V+P+OR+OT’ construction was developed from the ‘V+P+OR’ construction which focalized the recipient argument contrary to ‘V+OT’ focalizing the theme argument. Its theme argument was additionally supplemented later because ‘V+P’ was reanalyzed as a ditransitive verb.
