현대 중국어 사건의 고정화와 상(aspect)

Abstract

This paper analyzed the aspectual composition elements from the viewpoint of grounding. Grounding is the process of instantiation whereby linguistic expressions are linked to the spatiotemporal entities. A sentence can denote an Event as a partiular in the time and space by the grounding process. Chinese is an aspect prominent language, so viewpoint aspect particles(-le, -zhe, -guo, zai-) can be viewed as grounding predications. In addition, situation aspect elements(e.g. internal arguments, situation type of verbs, event modifying adverb phrases, verbal complements ect.) also function as grounding elements.
