ABSTRACT
열림/닫힘 버튼

This essay discusses the Chinese Potential Complement Structure V得/不C from the angle of Grammaticalization Theory. It’s notable that existing studies on this structure mostly believe that V得C structure is formed by inserting a 得in between the verb and its complement in a VC structure to indicate possibility, and V不C structure a 不 to indicate impossibility. However, these existing analyses are not convincing when describing exactly what elements are indicating the possibility in a V得/不C structure, and when explaining why sometimes deleting 得/不 from a V得/不C structures will not result in a legal VC structure. This essay tries to find answers to these questions by applying the Grammaticalization Theory. Author believes that V得/不C structure is a Construction; that indicating possibility is the self-generated meaning of a V得/不C Construction; and furthermore, that V得/不C structure has become a new Construction and has achieved Grammaticalization.
