摘要: 以认知语法的行为链和主观性理论为指导,研究英语的中动句。受事题元投射在中动句主语的位置,是概念化主体侧显能量传递过程中受事汲取能量和状态变化阶段的产物;受事主语的致使性语义特征,是主体凸显主观的致使属性评价和遮蔽客观的能量传递过程的结果;副词成分与谓语同现,则是主体弱化谓语的动作性和事件性,强化对受事致使属性的主观评价使然。

关键词: 中动句, 认知语法, 行为链, 主观性

Abstract: Based on theories of action chain and subjectivity under the framework of Cognitive Grammar, a study on the middle construction in English was conducted with the following findings: 1) The fact that the patient is situated at the subject place in the middle construction is the result of the conceptualizers focus on the energy absorption and state change of the patient in the process of energy transmission; 2) The causative feature of the patient comes from the conceptualizers subjective evaluation of some traits of the patient and the shadowing of the objective energy transmission; 3) The cooccurrence of the middle verb and adverb is formed so that the conceptualizer can weaken the dynamic and eventive character and strengthen the subjective evaluation of the some traits of the patient.

Key words: middle construction, cognitive grammar, action chain, subjectivity
