摘要:本文是英语教学论文,本文从 COCA 语料库中提取 300 个最常使用的关于 UP 的短语动词,通过概念隐喻和意象图式理论的分析,这些短语动词会根据其比喻比被分成几类。在这种情况下,这些短语动词的语义形成及扩展将被清晰地揭示出来。
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
1.1 Research Background
Phrasal verbs, also known as verb-particle constructions, are a common feature of the English language. Most of them consist of Verb+Preposition, Verb+Adverb or Verb+Adverb+Preposition. Usually if the meaning of the verb is known and if the meaning of the particle is spatial, the phrasal verb is easy to understand. However, the most frequently encountered problem occurs, when particles are used metaphorically or when their spatial meanings are extended to abstract, non-visible domains such as thoughts, intensions, attitudes and relations, etc, the phrasal verbs are far from obvious for second language learners of English, even if we know the basic or literal meanings of the verbs. Among all of the particles that appear in the Verb+Particle constructions (VPCs), UP is the most widely-used one. It can be combined with a lot of verbs and yield quite a few senses. Thus it is obvious that the V+UP construction is the most active one. There are already many studies that have been done about it from the perspective of semantics, syntax and pragmatics, etc. However, the traditional semantic analysis not only seems somewhat unsystematic, but also has not elaborated much on the complicated nature of the V+UP construction. Former studies have analyzed the particle UP by using image schema theory and conceptual metaphor theory, and it is found that the senses of the particle up are mainly derived from two basic image schemas: dynamic image schema, and static image schema (Lan Chun, 2003: 147-148). Many researchers have tried to classify the general image schemas of UP based on the two basic image schemas. However, their classifications are either too broad or not so accurate to some extent. There are still a lot of phrasal verbs are hard to be categorized into certain image schemas.

1.2 Research Questions and Objectives
This
thesis intends to unfold the mechanism how the particle UP forms and extends different meanings when combined with a verb and thus forms a V+UP construction. Moreover, there are some problems in current mainstream ECLDs, so this thesis also tries to improve the actual presentation of the V+UP construction for ECLDs, which will eventually facilitate learners’ acquisition of the V+UP construction. The present thesis is fundamentally concerned with the semantic features of the V+UP construction and its presentation in ECLDs. The questions to be dealt with are: (1) What are the semantic features of the V+UP construction? (2) What are the problems that Chinese EFL learners have in the acquisition of various meanings of the V+UP construction? (3) What are the deficiencies of current ECLDs
