Conditions on the interpretation of the complement clauses of the counter-factive verbs/ LI, Xinliang. YUAN Yulin.
// Contemporary linnguistics. 2016, Vol.18, No.2. 2016194-215 p. This paper investigates the syntatic&semantic properties of “pretend-type”verbs and other counter-factive verbs in Chinese.It has been noted that the complements of the pretend-type verbs sometimes have a false interpretation&somtimes have a true interpretation.For instance, if we are given a struture like jiazhuang haipa’intentionally to be afraid’,we would know that it is false that the subject of jiazhuang is afraid.However,if we are given a struture like jiazhuang shuaidao’pretend that one has fallen down’,we would know that it is true that the subject of jiazhuang is the one who has fallen down.It is pointed out in this paper that the counter-factive verbs in Chinese share some common syntatic and semantic properties.The difference between the pretend-type verbs and other counter-factive verbs is discussed in the paper.The complement clause of the pretend-type verbs somtimes expresses a false proposition,and somtimes expresses a true proposition.In our study of 1,500 sentences with the pretend-type verbs as the predicates,there are only 30 sentences which don’t assign a false interpretation to their complement clauses.We think that the reason for the difference lies in the fact that speaker are willing to make counter-type verbs are lexicalization of conceptualized pretending actions,which can be studied from the perspective of social semiotics.
