題目：現代漢語“V1OV2的”構式的句法語義特徵及形成理據
摘要：“V1OV2的”是現代漢語出現頻率較高的口語表達式，也是一個典型的構式。本研究從構式語法視角考察了該構式的句法語義特徵和形成理據。研究發現，“V1OV2的”構式是一類非典型的動詞拷貝構式，其構式義可以概括為“闡釋已然事件造成某種事態的緣由”。該構式是受認知經濟性驅動，在典型動詞拷貝構式基礎上經過移位、刪略和替換等操作形成的。語言理據和非語言理據協同運作，共同促成“V1OV2的”構式的產生和使用。
關鍵詞：“V1OV2的”構式；動詞拷貝構式；句法；語義；理據

Abstract:
The “V1OV2 de” construction is a commonly used colloquial expression in modern standard Chinese and a typical construct. This study explores the grammatical and semantic features and the reasons for its formation from a construct grammar perspective. The research found that “V1OV2的” is a non-typical verb-copying construction, and its meaning of construction can be summarized as “explaining the reason why an event has taken place in a certain situation.” This construction is driven by cognitive economy and formed based on a typical verb-copying construction through operations such as transposition, deletion, and substitution. Linguistic and non-linguistic reasons work jointly to contribute to the production and use of the “V1OV2的” construction.
Keywords: “V1OV2 de” construction; verb-copying construction; syntax; semantics; reasons
