摘要

在冰岛语中,Dat-Nom/Nom-Dat 交替使用的动词因实例化两种截然相反的参数结构而臭名昭著:Dat-Nom 和 Nom-Dat 结构。我们对相关动词进行了系统研究,以揭示导致交替的因素。我们对 15 个动词进行了比较,其中包括 5 个交替动词,以及作为对照的 5 个 Nom-Dat 动词和 5 个非交替的 Dat-Nom 动词。我们的研究结果表明,当两个参数都是完整的 NP 时,交替动词在五个动词中平均有四个在 54% 的时间里实例化了 Nom-Dat 结构,46% 的时间里实例化了 Dat-Nom 结构。然而,在有名词代词的构式中,Nom-Dat 构式优先于 Dat-Nom 构式。此外,对于双 NP 配置,逻辑回归分析发现,除了名词性情况标记外,不确定性和长度是两个关键的预测因素。我们证明,后者与话语优先性有系统的相关性,而我们仔细观察后发现,话语优先性与话题性也有相关性。

Argument structure constructions in competition: The Dat-Nom/Nom-Dat alternation in Icelandic

Alternating Dat-Nom/Nom-Dat verbs in Icelandic are notorious for instantiating two diametrically opposed argument structures: the Dat-Nom and the Nom-Dat construction. We conduct a systematic study of the relevant verbs to uncover the factors steering the alternation. This involves a comparison of 15 verbs, five alternating ones, and as a control, five Nom-Dat verbs and five non-alternating Dat-Nom verbs. Our findings show that alternating verbs instantiate the Nom-Dat construction 54% of the time and the Dat-Nom construction 46% of the time on average for four of five verbs when both arguments are full NPs. However, in configurations with a nominative pronoun, the Nom-Dat construction takes precedence over the Dat-Nom construction. Also, for the double-NP configuration, a logistic regression analysis identifies indefiniteness and length as two key predictors, apart from nominative case marking. We demonstrate that the latter systematically correlates with discourse-prominence, which we show, upon closer inspection, correlates with topicality.
