And it argues that the pragmatic motivation of expression elaboration causes the fact that some verbs apply the sentence pattern of another verbs, that means some verbs insert in the constructions of another verbs, which results the discrepancy between the argument structure of verb and sentence construction. It suggests that grammatical rules, such as dative inserting and agent deletion etc., are the mechanism of interaction between the argument structure of verb and sentence construction, and if theses rules are applied under some syntactic and semantic conditions, then the new argument structure of verb which suit to the requirement of sentence construction would be derived. Finally, it proposes that the correspondence between the argument structure of verb and sentence construction is motivated, but is not predictable, and the logic mechanism behind the interaction between the argument structure of verb and sentence construction is an abduction reasoning which seeks for a motivation explanation or an after-the-fact reasoning. ① 顾阳采纳 Levin & Rappaport (1995)的理论假设:在词库(lexicon)和句法表达(syntactic representation)层面之间 表达的精细化等语用动机促动了句式套用和词项代入,这又引发了动词和句式的互动,其结果是动词改变其论元结构来适应句式意义和句式构造的需要。与事插入、施事删除等规则是动词和句式互动的具体机制,在一定的句法、语义条件下启动这些规则就可以使动词衍生出符合句式要求的论元结构。动词和句式的对应关系是有理据的、但又是不可预测的,动词和句式互动背后的逻辑机制是追求动因解释的归因推理。
