摘　　要：本研究以英国国家语料库中口语对话、小说、新闻报刊和学术刊物四种语料为基础,调查典型make类迂回致使结构及该结构中致使者、被使者和结果动词三个主要槽位的填充词在语义、语法属性特征上所表现出来的语体偏向效应。统计表明,从四种语体上看,典型make类迂回致使结构显著多用于小说语体中;从口笔语两大语域上看,多用于书面语中。致使者和被使者各自的生命度特征、具体语义特征以及所表达的致使类型在四类不同语体中表现出明显的语体偏向;不同语体对不同语法类型和意义类型的结果动词有着明显选择偏向。不同语体对同一语言结构原型意义的构建有重要的影响。Based on four sub-corpora of the British National Corpus,which cover four genres of conversation,fiction,newspaper texts and academic prose,and total about 50 million words,the present paper reports on an empirical investigation into the impact of register variations on the distribution of both the typical periphrastic causative construction with the causative verb make and its three slot fillers in terms of animacy,semantic nature,types of causation,transitivity and semantic classes.The statistical analyses demonstrate that the construction in question is found significantly more frequent in fiction from the genre perspective and it is preferred in writing from the viewpoint of register.And a clear preference pattern of the relevant features of the three slot fillers across the four genres is also revealed.All this findings imply that register variations may play a very important role in the establishment of the prototypical causation.
