Abstract
本文從音韻、詞法、句法以及語意的觀點探討台灣閩南語動賓複合詞 的共時現象。作者以宏觀的語言學理論及微觀的詞法理論來探討閩南語動 賓複合詞。本文共分為五章。 第一章首先介紹一些語言學基本概念， 比如符號、語素、詞、複合及派生，接下來是國語和閩南語複合詞以及動 賓複合詞的文獻回顧。在第二章中，作者依據趙元任先生對複合詞所提出 的八個分類來探討閩南語複合詞以及動賓複合詞的本質。”複合詞和詞組 的不同何在？”這個問題也隨著複合詞本質的探討而浮現，提出一個滿意 的答案不但是本章也是本論文的重要課題之一。此外，作者作了一個小規 模的問卷調查來檢視閩南語動賓複合詞的句法特質。 第三章及第四章 討論閩南語動賓複合詞的特質。在第三章中，作者分析閩南語動賓複合詞 的內部結構、外部功能、及名詞併入、中心語以及轉類現象。第四章討論 閩南語動賓複合詞中，動詞和賓語的論旨關係。作者以概念性結構來分解 動賓複合詞，也就是說在結構上把動賓複合詞以詞組的方式呈現，但二者 的意思卻不一定相同。最後對全文討論內容做個總結。 This thesis is a synchronic study of the nature of V-O compounds in Taiwan Southern Min (henceforth TSM). We will discuss V-O compounds in TSM from the phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic points of view. Our discussion benefits from modern linguistic theories in general and morphological theories in particular. There are five chapters in this thesis. In Chapter 1, we first introduce some linguistic basic concepts to readers such as sign, morpheme, word and compounding and affixation. Next, we present a literature review of previous studies on compounds and V-O compounds in Mandarin and TSM. In Chapter 2, following Chao's framework, we explore the essence of compounds and V-O compounds and attempt to find a satisfactory answer to the question "What is the difference between compounds and phrases?" A small-scale survey is done to look at the syntactic property of TSM V-O compounds. In Chapter 3 and 4, various dimensions of V-O compounds in TSM are presented. Chapter 3 deals with the phonological, morphological and syntactic phenomen of V-O compounds in TSM. We will analyze their internal structure, and external function and furthermore explore TSM V-O compounds in terms of the theories of Incorporation and Feature Percolation Conventions. Chapter 4 presents various thematic roles of objects in TSM V-O compounds. We will show these thematic relationships from two directions. One is that thematic roles are the basis on which V-O compounds are shown and another is that verbs are the basis on which V-O compounds are shown. The final chapter concludes the thesis.
