本文主要探討"因為NP,所以VP"這類構式中NP的語義特點,這類構式的編碼、解碼機制及其相關的構式家族等問題。幾乎所有語義類型的NP都可以進入這類構式中。"因為NP,所以VP"的編碼主要涉及到致使事件、認知加工模式和新舊信息、前景—背景安排等因素;其解碼與合作原則、指稱銜接相關。最后我們探討了與其相關的"因為X,所以Y"構式家族。

This paper mainly discusses some issues of"Yinwei(因為)NP,Suoyi(所以)VP"construction such as the semantic features of NP,its encoding and decoding mechanisms and the relevant construction family.It is found that almost all the semantic types of NP can enter into this causal construction.On one hand,its encoding is related with the factors of causative event,cognitive processing mode,new-old information and foregroundbackground arrangement.On the other hand,its decoding is related with the cooperative principle and referential cohesion.At last,we discuss the relevant construction family of"Yinwei X,Suoyi Y".
