摘　　要：中动结构隐含的施事必须具有自主能力,评价性成分经由动词动作指向受事主语,表示受事具有接受动词动作影响的属性,类似于"可/能V的"或者"V-able"。中动结构的概念内容和相应的施动句一样,只是突显的焦点不同。施动句突显的是施事和受事,分别是注意的主焦点和次焦点。中动结构突显的是已发生状态变化的受事。施事退隐是施事被排除在注意范围之外、受事成为主焦点的结果。中动结构的语义内容是其概念内容从"有界""异质"变为"无界""同质"的结果。The implicit agent in middle constructions should be animate and volitional, while the evaluative constituents predi- cate the susceptibility of the patient subject to the acts designated by the verbs. The construction suggests that the patient-sub- jects have the property of being affected by the verbs. The middle construction has the same conceptual content as its correspond- ent causative construction. However, their profiled participants are different. In causatives the profiled are agent and patient, the primary focus and the secondary focus respectively. While in middles the profiled, or the single and only focus, is the patient be- cause the agent is excluded from the scope of attention. The semantic content of the middles derives from the change from E- VENT, which is conceptually bounded and heterogeneous, to the STATE, which is conceptually unbounded and homogeneous.
