运动动词是一类非常重要的动词,而时态、体态和情态是英语动词的基本特征。本文借助语料库,研究运动动词go在几种用法中的时态、体态和情态。研究发现,时态、体态和情态并不只是用以描述时间的语法特征,运动动词go的时态、体态和情态完全基于其作为空间概念的语义原型。我们深入探讨动词go在时间表达中所涉及的复杂的认知机制,并以此为基础分析由于动词go本身的认知特点所带来的相应的语用效果。通过对动词go的时间表述的认知分析,我们得以从综合的角度看待语法、语义及语用不同方面之间的紧密关系。 Sports verbs are a very important class of verbs, while tense, body posture and modality are the basic characteristics of English verbs. In this paper, we use the corpus to study the tense, body posture and modality of the sports go in several ways. The study finds that tense, body posture and modality are not only used to describe the grammatical features of time. The tense, body posture and modality of the motion verb go are entirely based on their semantic prototype as the concept of space. We explore in depth the complex cognitive mechanisms involved in the verb go in time expression and use it as a basis for analyzing the corresponding pragmatic effects brought about by the cognitive features of the verb go. Through the cognitive analysis of the time expression of the verb go, we can view the close relationship between the different aspects of grammar, semantics and pragmatics from a comprehensive perspective.
