处所环境的层次范域

处所环境是处所元经验的语义表征,在词汇语法层面主要由处所介词短语加以识解。从语言层次上看,处所环境呈现不同层次的话语模式;从语言范域上看,处所环境呈现多重范域的话语模式。处所环境的不同层次和多重范域的词汇语法呈现出复杂的语义空间。短语层面上,处所介词短语协助语义延伸,因为词汇语法将小句中的“主要事件”分派给动词来体现,而介词被降级到“次要动词”来体现“次要过程”,从而为动词语义延伸提供句法驱动力,同时处所介词短语还可营造抽象语义空间;小句层面上,处所介词短语凸显主位信息及体现小句视角,并揭示小句事件类型,同时又是主题宗旨的必要句法指向;语篇层面上,处所介词短语承担语篇组织和识别语篇类型,从而形成有“意识”的语篇空间,最终达到“社交指向”的目的。处所环境的不同层次和多重范域具有词汇语法的可识别性。处所环境的这些层次和范域研究对于其它方面的处所元经验研究有着一定的启示作用。

Strata and domains of locative circumstance

Locative circumstance,as semantic representation of locative meta-experience,is mainly construed by locative prepositional phrases in lexicogrammatical strata.Locative circumstance displays different strata of discursive modes from the perspective of language strata while locative circumstance displays multiple domains of discursive modes from the perspective of language domains.Thus,a complex semantic space is shown in the lexicogrammat of locative circumstance in different strata and multiple domains.In the phrasal stratum,locative prepositional phrases help carry out semantic extensions since lexicogrammar assigns verbs for the realization of main events in a clause.Therefore,prepositions are rankshifted into subverbs for the realization of subprocesses so as to supply the semantic extension of verbs with syntactic driving force.Meanwhile,locative prepositional phrases can build abstract semantic spaces.In the clausal stratum,locative prepositional phrases profile thematic information and realize clausal perspective.They also show event types of clauses and reveal essential syntactic orientations for the thematic gist.In the textual stratum,locative prepositional phrases play a role of a textual organizer and also recognize text types in order to build a textual space as consciousness and finally achieve the purpose of social orientation.Different strata and multiple domains of locative circumstance are lexicogrammatically identifiable.The study of these strata and domains of locative circumstance plays a heuristic role in the study of other meta-experiences.
