The Information Packaging of the Do-Constructions in Chinese, Russian, and Czech
Original language description
This study investigated the do-constructions in Chinese, Russian, and Czech, a predicateargument structure comprised of the light verb 'to do' - zuo in Chinese, delat' in Russian, and dělat in Czech - and a verbal noun as the head in the accusative role, considering the linguistic traits and pragmatic use of the constructions in spoken and written discourse. The corpus results attested that the three languages not only have lexical and grammatical equivalences, they also demonstrate a functional equivalence in packaging information to define a type of action within the construction. Similar lexicogrammatical strategies are employed to encode tense and aspectual information of the predicates and various kinds of information about the nominal heads. The preference of the do-usage in the written genre is unequivocal in Chinese and Russian, suggesting that the structural change could have started as a writing style. The relative novelty of the dousage to communicate generic or specific action events in Czech is evidence of language-specificity in pragmatic use.
