The Formation and Constructionalization of Trisyllabic Constructions of Word-part Ellipsis—On the Internal Classification of 2+1 Constructions in the Form of Parallel Structure Plus a Noun
2+1 constructions in the form of parallel structure plus a noun are abundant and relatively productive.Through the analysis model of construction morphology and constructionalization,it is possible to clarify these words with similar surface structures but different actual semantic relations.According to the way of formation,they can be divided into two categories:abbreviated words and non-abbreviated words.According to the construction meaning,they can be divided into two categories:collective and specific.In accordance with the motivational associ-ation,a bottom-up construction inheritance network can be constructed.The collective-meaning construction of the instantaneous node,one of the constructions of word-part ellipsis,gradually develops into the special-meaning con-struction through the formal and semantic re-analysis on the basis of the use-based construction.From the perspec-tive of meaning construction,the functional role makes a big difference in the transformation from collective seman-tic construction to specific semantic construction.The motivation and mechanism for the constructualization of word-part ellipsis are the analogical effect prompted by context and conceptual metonymy respectively.
