| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has found out that some resultative phrases are associated with multiple senses, by examining the semantic nature of them or words within them.It has also been turned out that verbs can be given subtly different interpretations, depending on the polysemy of the resultative phrases with which they occur. It is thus suggested that there exist interpretive ways in which verbs fill in the details of a frame element in the frame evoked by a resultative phrase, or verbs compatible with the knowledge in the frame are selecetd.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
先行研究においては、英語の文法構文の成立や全体的な意味解釈は動詞の意味特性によってかなりの程度決定されるという捉え方が根強く、結果構文もまさにそのような事例と言える。しかしながら、そのことは全ての結果構文に当てはまるわけではなく、とりわけ何らかの特異性を示す周辺的事例に関しては、動詞よりもむしろ結果句の方が意味解釈上の影響力を持つ場合がある。本研究はこのようにあまり着目されてこなかった動詞以外の要素の意味特性に目を向けることで、文法構文の成立及び解釈メカニズムの研究に一石を投じた。
