On the Discrimination and Identification of Verb's Fulfillment Types
Talmy puts forward 4 fulfillment types of moot/implied/intrinsic/attained-fulfillment in the study of realization events,but their nature has not been known thoroughly and the classification lacks empirical support.Therefore,this paper(a)resupposes fulfillment types and their differences from the perspective of realization-event structure,aiming at the problem that intrinsic-fulfillment verb doesn't encode goal;(b)justifies that intrinsic-and attained-fulfillment verbs have the same potential to entail goal-fulfillment and activate the framing event independently,and the former can accept rich satellite morphemes while the latter can only accept mono-semantic gestalt satellite morpheme;(c)discovers the positive correlations between verb's capacity for activating framing event and encoding fulfillment of goal by data;(d)designs discriminating mehtods and procedures based on the justified hypotheses and discovery;(e)designed 2-step diagnoses can discriminate and identify verb's fulfillment types accurately and efficiently.
