Dear all.

我剛剛在網路上找到有關verb-particle的東西~

由於是 PDF.檔  所以我剛剛寄給包子請包子轉寄給大家囉

by the way,

我還找到一個蠻好玩的東西的

Particles: on the syntax of verb-particle, triadic, and causative constructions

 作者：Marcel den Dikken

有興趣可以看一下, 本來要找我們學校圖書館有沒有這本書

結果圖書館網頁壞掉  [+angry]

Dear all,

這是我在網路上看到有關ergativity的文章 當然也有說到ergative language的一些概念

1. http://ezinearticles.com/?What-is-Ergativity?&id=249623

我語言學老師建議我可以去看一個語言學家的文章

等我拿到手之後再跟大家分享吧

註：大部分菲律賓語為作格語言 (ergative language) ，其不及物動詞的主詞和及物動詞的受詞在構詞的格位變化上是一致的。而受格語言 (accusative language) ，例如英語，其不及物動詞的主詞和及物動詞的主詞在構詞的格位變化上是一致的。

註：在受格語言 (accusative language) 之被動結構中，例如英語的被動句型，其原主動結構之主詞降為斜格（即為介繫詞 by 後之名詞組），變成一種不及物結構；而在作格語言 (ergative language) 中，也有將原受詞降為斜格的句型，也變成一種不及物結構，所以叫作反被動句型 (antipassive) 。

** 剛好 Google 看到 Ergative Lg 的資料~~幫補充囉...嘻嘻....^^

In the English language, an ergative verb is a verb whose action affects the subject, rather than the object, of the verb. Another way to describe this is that a normal verb's patient is its object, whereas an ergative verb's patient is its subject. Often, but not always, ergative verbs take no direct object. Some verbs can act as either a regular transitive verb or an ergative verb.

Examples of ergative-only verbs:

I think.

I see.

I understand.

I experience.

Examples of verbs that can be ergative or transitive:

open

The door opens.

John opens the door.

eat

I ate.

I ate a hamburger.

**  再補充 : Traces of ergativity in English

Traces of ergativity in English

English does show a trace of something that could be regarded as ergativity. With an intransitive verb, adding the suffix -ee to the verb produces a label for the person performing the action:

"John has retired." → "John is a retiree."

"John has escaped." → "John is an escapee."

"John is standing." → "John is a standee."

However, with a transitive verb, adding -ee does not produce a label for the person doing the action. Instead, it gives us a label for the person to whom the action is done:

"Mike employs Susie." → "Susie is an employee."

"Mike has inducted Susie." → "Susie is an inductee."

"Mike has appointed Susie" → "Susie is an appointee."

The differing effect of the -ee suffix, depending on the transitivity of the verb, can be considered ergativity.
