존현문에 출현하는 ‘着’의 윤곽 전이 기능

초록

This article aims to analyze the function of ZHE in the locative inversion construction in Mandarin Chinese. Many previous researches on locative inversion construction have focused on the syntactic features of the verbs in this construction. According to Pan(1996), all the verbs in the locative inversion construction are intrinsically accusative, and ZHE deletes the agent role of a verb if certain conditions are met, and allows the verb in question to satisfy the conditions on locative inversion. Pan(1996:416) claimed that ZHE focused on the state after the finishing point and conveyed the idea that the state holds for a period of time. But the recent researches based on the corpus data show that ZHE, as an aspect marker, focuses on not only the duration of a result state, but also the duration of a process. This study explains the role of the aspect marker in the locative inversion construction through semantic analysis. In addition, this study analyzes the selection of subject in the locative inversion and the profiling function of the aspect marker on the cognitive linguistics views.
