@article{oai:barrel.repo.nii.ac.jp:00004306, author = {田林, 洋一}, journal = {清泉女子大学大学院人文科学研究科論集}, month = {}, note = {This paper examines the argument structure of copula be by applying Goldberg's Construction Grammar (1995). Firstly I make a survey of the relation between Argument Structures and Case. Secondly I propose that the relation between arguments governed by the copula and the thematic role can not be explained by Government - Binding Theory (here after GB Theory) and event structures (Langacker, 1987). Finally I try to explain the argument structure of the copula by using Construction Grammar. Though phrases with the copula violate the Case Theory and Theta-Criterion, they are totally grammatical and acceptable. Thus, we must conclude that the copula is one of the specimens which may falsifY GB Theory. Langacker's event structures can not deal with the copula from the perspective of argument structures as well. Instead of GB Theory and event structures, I suggest that Goldberg's Construction Grammar will explain the argument structure of the copula. I hypothesize that Construction knowledge may provide an argument structure for the phrases with the copula. In this paper I treat only the argument structure of the copula and do not mention the thematic role concerned with these argument structures. Furthermore, the identification of the thematic role's relation to the argument structure of the copula requires further and careful consideration. My purpose in this paper is only to clarifY the form of argument structures, not to clarifY the relation between thematic roles and argument structures. However this proposal will help to clarifY the formulation of the thematic role of the copula.}, pages = {21--35}, title = {構文理論による連辞beの項構造の試案}, volume = {12}, year = {2006} }
