Abstract

MANDARIN A+YI+X, B+YI+Y CONSTRUCTION HAS MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTIONAL MEANINGS ENCODED BY THE SAME SYNTACTIC CONSTRUCTION. WE STUDY THE CONDITIONS FOR SELECTION AND/OR PREFERENCE OF CONSTRUCTIONAL MEANINGS OF THIS CONSTRUCTION IN THIS PAPER. STUDY OF CORPUS DATA SHOWED THAT POS AND SEMANTIC ROLES OF A/B X/Y CANNOT RELIABLY PREDICT DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTIONAL MEANINGS. WE FURTHER SHOW THAT CONDITIONS THAT CAN PREDICT THE DIFFERENCES IN CONSTRUCTIONAL MEANING ARE THE EVENT STRUCTURES OF A AND B'S, AS WELL AS REFERENTIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN "YI(ONE)+X" AND "YI(ONE)+Y" .
