摘　　要：处所成分在事件结构中通常承担非参与者角色,但其在特定的句法表达中亦可以承担宾语、倒装主语和主语等角色。本文从主观性视角分析处所成分作宾语、倒装主语和主语时体现的“言者情感”“言者视角”“言者态度”,指出这一语法功能嬗变的机制在于言者对处所成分进行不同程度的“注意视窗”调节,并由此导致处所成分从实体性到空间性的逐步增强,同时伴随着句法位置的“左移”。Though normally functioning as non-participants in an event structure,locatives can also assume grammatical roles of object,inverted subject and subject in certain constructions.The paper analyzes this phenomenon from the perspective of subjectivity as involved in locatives and points out that the object,inverted subject and subject as assumed by locatives are manifestations of speaker’s affect,perspective and modality respectively.The change in grammatical function is due to speaker’s“windowing”adjustment,leading to locatives shifting its nuances of meaning from being more entity-oriented to spatial-oriented,which is also accompanied by leftward movement in locative’s syntactic position.
