Abstract
Building on Goldberg’s (2006: 52) observation regarding the existence
of “a family of related constructions in English” centred around the verb go, this article explores the history
of the construction exemplified in the title (“Don’t go getting into trouble again!”) and its relation to other members of the
network of go-constructions. The analysis, conducted using three large corpora, shows that the
Go VPing construction emerges from two source constructions (one with an
–ing participle following the verb go and the other with an infinitive) which exhibit
overlap in terms of certain aspects of their form and meaning. From its earliest attestations in the eighteenth century, the
Go VPing construction has grown increasingly more interpersonal, and has become
conventionalized as a marker of admonitive mood (Bybee et al. 1994: 321) which serves
to dissuade or limit the performance of an activity that is apprehended as undesirable and counter-normative.
在Goldberg(2006: 52)关于英语中存在以动词go为中心的“一个相关结构家族”的观察基础上，本文探讨了以标题为例的结构的历史(“Don’t go get into trouble again!”)及其与go结构网络中其他成员的关系。使用三个大型语料库进行的分析表明，Go VPing结构来自两个源结构(一个带-ing分词，另一个带不定式)，它们在形式和意义的某些方面表现出重叠。从18世纪最早的证明开始，Go VPing结构变得越来越人际化，并且已经成为一种规劝情绪的标志(Bybee et al. 1994: 321)，用于劝阻或限制被认为是不受欢迎和反规范的活动的表现。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Historical Pragmatics provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization. Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach.
