4 短语动词的权威定义(涉及短语动词、介词动词、是否产生新义等)

请参考以下三个案例:

1. 不及物动词加介词是构成短语动词还是动状结构

https://www.cpsenglish.com/question/8552

2. 动词短语与短语动词的区别及用法

https://www.cpsenglish.com/question/26567

3. 短语动词与介词动词的定义与区别

https://www.cpsenglish.com/question/24548

2个案例无一例外都提到了这么一个观点:

以动词+介词为例:若产生了新的词义为并且为固定搭配作为一个整体使用如look after照看照顾,为短语动词。

若仅仅是如 look at, 则不叫短语动词,但叫什么,都没有正面回答。

但是第3个案例里说:广义上来说,look after look at都叫短语动词,狭义的说,look after是短语动词,look at叫:介词动词(我第一次听到这个名字)

这两种情况到底该怎么理解?

产生了新的词义的容易理解叫短语动词,那么还保持原本词义的叫什么名字?就叫介词动词吗?

《牛津高阶学习词典英汉双解》第七版对phrasal verb的定义:

《牛津高阶学习词典英汉双解》第七版对phrasal verb(短语动词)的定义是这样的:

phrasal verb  noun (grammar)

a verb combined with an adverb or a preposition, or sometimes both, to give a new meaning, for example go in for, win over and see to

根据此定义可知:短语动词由动词跟介词或副词构成,或有时同时跟介词和副词构成,要产生新的词义(give a new meaning)。

 

相关内容可参考英国著名语法学家夸克等人的《英语语法大全》的第1593-1616页:

现将夸克等人的《英语语法大全》的相关内容结合网友的疑问简要归纳如下:

对于“动词+介词/副词”类搭配,如果能单独根据动词和小品词的意义来预测组合后的意义,则为自由组合(free combintations);如果不能孤立地根据动词和小品词的意义来预测组合后的意义,则可细分为两类:一类是短语动词(phrasal verbs),即动词+副词类,如 find out 等,另一类是介词动词(prepositional verbs),即动词+介词类,如 care for 等。另外,夸克等人在《英语语法大全》中还补充一类所谓的“短语-介词动词”(phrasal-prepositional verbs),即由“短语动词+介词”构成,如put up with。


“动词+介词/副词”类搭配归纳列表(因网站无法显示表格,故直接排列如下):

自由组合:可以单独根据动词和小品词的意义来预测组合后的意义(如 come in, go out)。

短语动词:动词+副词小品词(如 give in, break down 等)

介词动词:动词+介词小品词(如 call on, cope with 等)

短语-介词动词:动词+副词+介词(如 look down on, face up to 等)

维基百科英文版:phrasal verb 短语动词

In English, a phrasal verb is a phrase such as turn down or ran into which combines two or three words from different grammatical categories: a verb and a particle and/or a preposition together form a single semantic unit. This semantic unit cannot be understood based upon the meanings of the individual parts, but must be taken as a whole. In other words, the meaning is non-compositional and thus unpredictable.[1] Phrasal verbs that include a preposition are known as prepositional verbs and phrasal verbs that include a particle are also known as particle verbs. Additional alternative terms for phrasal verb are compound verbverb-adverb combinationverb-particle constructiontwo-part word/verb, and three-part word/verb (depending on the number of particles), and multi-word verb.[2]


verb phrase 动词短语

In linguistics, a verb phrase (VP) is a syntactic unit composed of at least one verb and its dependents—objects, complements and other modifiers—but not always including the subject. Thus in the sentence A fat man put the money quickly in the box, the words put the money quickly in the box are a verb phrase; it consists of the verb put and its dependents, but not the subject a fat man. A verb phrase is similar to what is considered a predicate in more traditional grammars.

   副词小品词往往与动词连用,构成双词动词,有时会产生全新的意思(如 break down, put off, work out, give up)。这些词通常叫做“短语动词”(phrasal verb)。(摘自《牛津英语用法指南》第三版20.2)

你似乎对第三个案例有误解,第三个案例里边,狭义,look after ,look at都是介词动词。介词动词,和保持原义没必然联系。
