“语义决定句法,通过句法描写语义”是莫斯科语义学派独特并且传统的语义研究方法。Е.В.Падучева在继承并发展该学说的同时,从词汇的具体语义类别出发,探寻语义变化与形式变化之间的内在规律,从而突破多义词的传统研究范式。本文以覆盖类动词为例,论证动词的许多语言运作特征都能够从它们的词汇语义中得到解释,比如有规律的多义性以及句法搭配、同义转换等等。 “Semantics determines the syntax, describes the semantics through the syntax ” is a unique and traditional semantic research method of the Moscow semantic school. While inheriting and developing this theory, Е.В.Падучева explores the internal laws between the changes of semantics and formal changes from the concrete semantic categories of the lexicon, breaking the traditional research paradigm of polysemy. Taking the covered verbs as an example, we prove that many verbal operating features of verbs can be interpreted from their lexical meanings, such as regular polysemy, syntactic collocation, synonymous transformation and so on.
