As a preliminary attempt to integrate seemingly diverse proposals, this paper aims to explore the possible range of conceptualizing and hence lexicalizing emotion-related states and activities, by examining the intriguing interactions between lexical and constructional form-meaning mapping relations realized in Mandarin emotional predicates.
Due to the underlying differentiation between proximity and adherence, it is also possible to have aggregates that have both types of relations realized between their constituting parts.
The model design will follow the two-locus principle argued by [ 4], where one locus modifies the mating relations realized at a second locus, and where this second locus is also subject to selection.
The macro-to-micro relation is realized through the boundary conditions of the microscopic RVE, which relies on the macroscopic solid deformation and fluid pressure gradient.
While the match was in play, the Beckham representatives and the F.A. public relations people realized that an uproar was likely to follow what was a terse dismissal to a long career.
While the match was under way, Beckham's representatives and the F.A. public relations people realized that an uproar would most likely follow what was a terse dismissal to a long career.
Consider the following set of examples where logical relations are realized inside clauses.
In Example 3, logical relations are realized inside clauses by verb, preposition, noun and adjective (Halliday, 1998).
Example 4 shows how the discourse semantic categories process, quality and logical relations are realized congruently by verb, adjective and conjunction, respectively.
Finally, this study bears a significant theoretical implication: Mandarin emotion verbs demonstrate a continuum of form-meaning pairing relations as realized in the lexical to constructional associations characteristic of Mandarin.
