摘　　要：近年来,英语过去分词形容词(简称APP)作修饰语的问题,虽已受到一定的关注,但对其研究仍然不够深入。本文试图运用语料库的研究方法对英语APPs进行探究,不仅研究了APPs作前置修饰语的情况,还探讨了APPs作后置修饰语的情况。本文主要探讨两个问题:1.APPs在形式上与英语动词过去分词一致,它们之间有何关联?2.APPs在句法功能上与英语形容词极为相似;这两者是否可以相互替换?本文从认知语言学视角结合语料库数据的实例进行分析、比较。研究发现:APPs虽以动词为词根,但它又有别于动词。因为其功能已超过了其动词本身,APPs逐渐演变为兼类词,即同时具有动词和形容词的用法。但它并未取得完全形容词的地位,所以不能取代真正的形容词。Though adjectival past participles（APPs） have been paid more and more attention to in recent years,researches on APPs are still not profound.This paper tries to discuss adjectival past participles by means of corpus.It not only studies APPs used as prenominal modifiers,but also takes into account the ones used as postnominal modifiers.Our focus is mainly on two questions：1.APPs are identical to passive and perfect participle in form.Then how are the three sub-types of participles associated？2.APPs are similar to pure adjectives in syntactic function.In this case,are they interchangeable？ Through the empirical analysis of corpus database from cognitive linguistics perspective,some findings are got：APPs are different from verbs though they have verbs as their roots.They have gradually developed into categorical words which can be used both as verbs and adjectives since they have much more syntactic function.However,APPs can not substitute pure adjectives in that the former can not take place of the latter in any circumstances..
