摘　　要：中动结构是一种介于主动和被动之间,以受事或被动参与者作主语,句中存有一个隐含论元的结构。它是近年来语法研究的热点之一。不同语言学理论对其从句法结构、形式生成、语义功能和认知机理等角度进行了研究。本文基于认知的语义功能,运用典型范畴理论就英、汉中动结构的典型性与非典型性进行对比,指出英汉中动结构依据其主语的不同语义格成分可分为受事和感事主语的典型性中动结构以及工具、处所和材料等主语的非典型性中动结构。文章还就英汉中动结构的典型与非典型性分布及语义特征进行分析和讨论。Middles distinct from the actives and passives are a kind of construction which takes the patient or the passive participant as its grammatical subject with an implicit argument. With quite a few years of heated studies, linguists have probed it from different perspectives such as syntactic, generative, semantic and functional views. Based on the cognitive semantic functions, this paper sheds light on the proto-typicality and non-typicality of middle constructions in English and Chinese. It points out that the typical middle construction takes its patient as the subject, while its non-typical forms take instrument, location and material as theirs.
