项目摘要

Taking up three constructions in the present-day English which crucially involve the mechanism of the transitivization of intransitive verbs, the cognate object construction, the gesture-expression construction and the one's way-construction, I explored various syntactic and semantic properties of these three constructions by searching such large-size corpora as the Bank of English and the British National Corpus and Web. I identified a basic form and derivative forms of each construction by making theoretical considerations on the syntactic and semantic properties explored. Furthermore, I considered what theoretical consequences the analyses of these three constructions brought about on the general linguistic theory. I explored what sort of mechanism of extension is involved in the generation of derivative forms from a basic form in each construction. I made it clear a possibility that that mechanism of extension plays a role in the mechanism of transitivization of intransitive verbs … More in English.I have mastered the basic use of the searching tool the BNC Web through the course of the study above and so I have tried to reduce part of the achievements of my research to the academic and general society when I have played one of the instructors of the public program 'Large size Corpora and English Study' which has been held at the Graduate School of International Development (GSID) at Nagoya University in these three years.In order to deepen the understanding of the general linguistic theory which is necessitated for me to analyze the three constructions and also in order to provide academic people in general with the specialized theoretical linguistic knowledge, I have invited such excellent scholars as Prof.Emeritus Masaru Kajita (Sophia University), Prof.Takayasu Namiki (Ibaraki University), Prof.Reiko Shimamura (Tsuda College), Prof.Junya Morita (Kinjyou Gakuin University), Prof.Ken-ichi Takami and Prof.Minoji Akimoto at the GSID and I have held three general public lectures by them which has been in part supported by this grant-in-aid for me.In order to deepen the understanding of the linguistic functional aspects, conceptual semantics and the survey of English usage which is needed for pursuing my research, I have visited Harvard University, Brandeis University and London University and I have got precious data from these universities and the informative suggestions from Prof. Jackendoff at Brandeis University (now he is at Tufts University).I have made public the achievements of my research by making aural presentations as one of the lecturers of the symposiums held at the English Linguistic Society of Japan, the Japan Association for English Corpus Studies and Kumamoto University. I have seven academic articles concerning my research achievements which are contributed to Empirical and Theoretical Investigations into Language : A Festschrifts for Masaru Kajita, The Rising Generation and The English Teachers' Magazine. Finally, I have compiled the report of the achievements of my research Less

以当今英语中的三个结构为对象，其中关键涉及不及物动词的及物化机制、同源宾语结构、手势表达结构和方式结构，探讨了这三个结构的各种句法和语义特性。通过搜索英语银行、英国国家语料库和网络等大型语料库，我通过对所探索的句法和语义属性进行理论思考，确定了每种结构的基本形式和派生形式。对这三种结构的分析给一般语言学理论带来了什么样的理论后果，我探讨了每种结构中从基本形式生成衍生形式的机制。通过上面的学习过程，我已经掌握了BNC Web搜索工具的基本使用，所以我尝试减少了部分成果。我对学术界和一般社会的研究我在这三年中担任名古屋大学国际发展研究生院（GSID）举办的公共项目“大型语料库和英语研究”的讲师之一。我需要语言学理论来分析这三种结构，同时为了向广大学术界人士提供专业的语言学理论知识，我邀请了名誉教授梶田正田教授（上智大学）等优秀学者，我和GSID的Takayasu Namiki教授（茨城大学）、Reiko Shimamura教授（津田大学）、Junya Morita教授（金城学院大学）、Ken-ichi Takami教授和Minoji Akimoto教授一起举办了三场公开讲座为了加深对语言功能方面、概念语义学和英语调查的理解我访问了哈佛大学、布兰迪斯大学和伦敦大学，从这些大学获得了宝贵的数据，并从布兰迪斯大学的Jackendoff教授（现在他在塔夫茨大学）那里得到了翔实的建议。作为日本英语语言学会、日本英语语料库研究会和熊本大学举办的研讨会的讲师之一，公开了我的研究成果。我有七篇关于我的研究成果的学术文章。这些文章被投稿于《语言的实证与理论研究：梶田胜的庆典》、《崛起的一代》和《英语教师杂志》。最后，我整理了我的研究成果报告。
