タイトル:Semantic property in scrambled constituents: The case of objects in Japanese transitive sentences
キーワード:scrambling, word order, action chain model
概要:(関西言語学会第44回大会の発表練習です)While syntactic and pragmatic properties are discovered in scrambled constituents (Yamashita 2002), no semantic property has been recognized in them. The present study performed a corpus analysis to assess if scrambled constituents have any semantic properties. I classified objects in the SOV order and the OSV order based on their semantic role, demonstrating that objects whose semantic role was path appeared more often in the OSV order than in the SOV order. This result can be explained by the action chain model (Langacker 2008): when the object in a sentence means path, the transmission of energy from the subject to the object is weak, which makes it easier to place the object before the subject.
