A Study into the Prototypicality of Chinese Labile Verbs Liulin Zhang Liulin, Zhang. 2019. A Study into the Prototypicality of Chinese Labile Verbs.Cognitive Semantics, (5)1:1-31. Abstract Trying to situate Chinese into the typology of labile verbs (verbs that may be used transitively or intransitively), this paper analyzes Chinese labile verbals under the framework of cognitive construction grammar. By exhaustively looking at labile ver?bals in a small corpus, it is found that as an isolating language in which causative (tran?sitive use) or anticausative (intransitive use) is not morphologically marked, Chinese is particularly rich in labile verbals. After estimating how often several target verbals are used transitively and intransitively, two factors grounded in human cognition are revealed determining verbal lability in Chinese: change of state and spontaneity of the event. Change-of-state events give way to two competing profiling strategies, realized as a transitive construction and an intransitive construction, respectively. The degree and direction (transitive-dominated or intransitive-dominated) of verbal lability are sensitive to the likelihood of spontaneous occurrence of the event.

She received her Ph.D. degree from the University of Hawai?i at Mānoa. Mostly focusing on Chinese, her research interests include cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, and psycholinguistics. Oriented at the relationship between language and cognition, her research primarily approaches cognition via lexical semantics, the conceptual schemas underlying language constructions and the interaction between them. Based upon the contrast between Chinese and other languages, and utilizing corpus data and experimentation, she has been trying to bring to light some general characteristics of human conceptualization, as well as the special features of Chinese that need to be accounted for by extra-linguistic knowledge including culture, geography, history, etc.
