目前,有关进行体的研究成果一般认为,进行体主要涉及的是情景或事件的过程。这种“过程性”观点在很多方面都缺乏解释。本文指出该观点存在的矛盾之处,在分析其中原由的基础上提出进行体的基本语义内涵是以事件为背景,突显事件中主体的状态。接着用进行体的各种意义与功能对这一观点进行了论证,最后指出,进行体和非进行体的对立反映了人类认知的一种基本机制:突显时间或突显空间。 At present, the research results on the subject generally consider that the subject is mainly involved in the process of the scenario or event. This “procedural” perspective lacks explanation in many ways. This paper points out the contradictions of this viewpoint. Based on the analysis of the reasons, the author proposes that the basic semantic connotation of the body is to highlight the state of the subject in the event with the background of the event. Then this argument is demonstrated by the various meanings and functions of the body. Finally, it points out that the opposition between body and non-body reflects a basic mechanism of human cognition: to highlight the time or highlight the space.
