《評論》I go home happy. 點理解?
2011-11-10 7:41 pm
Iwould say:I go home happy. = I gohome happily. = I happily go home.Although the adjective is describing thepronoun, and the adverb is describing the verb, it has no significant variationbetween the above sentences. Ifyou explanation works, then it should be revised as below:I am happy. (First event)I go home (Second event)Are these two events related?NO. Thus, your sentence should be revisedas:I am happy and go home. Iwent home singing. = 我唱著歌回家???Singing is a noun instead of an adjective.I don’t think your sentence works!Isang as I went home. (This sentence isn’t logical!) 我唱著歌回家You can say: I was singing on my way home.

Participial phrase vs compound verb:

ginger, I think you have to study harder too.
In your sentence, you said: Please go to study harder...????
You should say: Please go studying harder.
or Please go study harder.
Either way, it works!
Actually, I didn't figure out what you are going to say, though!

Ginger, I'm not like you, and I won't study English everyday. I go to study harder. This sentence doesn't work. Besides, I don't see any relationship between secondary predication and my discussion.

eicachan: what are you going to tell me?
2011-11-12 14:02:05 補充：
Ginger, why not? A noun follows by an adjective. It's quite normal.
Example:
Poor Cecil insists the ticket taker let him in.
or
Happy Cecil is going home.
In your sentence, you said: Please go to study harder...????
You should say: Please go studying harder.
or Please go study harder.

There is something called "secondary predicate" in the world of grammar. Please go to study harder on this subject and you will find yourself "resourceful".

Thanks Ahhhh... Yes, I study every day.
Okay, you go studying harder, and I go to study harder, too. (laugh, no offence!)
I mean there is a subject called "secondary predication" that we should look into a bit further.

To eicachan,
I think "participial phrases" should fall into the second category of the "adjectival secondary predicate" as they are syntactically independent.

The sentence "I go home happy." should fall into the first category of adjectival secondary predicate, i.e. the depictive one.
What do you think?
2011-11-12 12:45:30 補充：
It is because you cannot say "Happy I go home."
You can say "He returned home empty-handed", but not "Empty-handed he returned home."
2011-11-12 14:17:17 補充：
Then, I don't understand why those linguists construct this kind of sentences and call it secondary predication??
- He returned home empty-handed.
- John ate the supper naked. (meaning ~ John was naked when he ate the supper.)
2011-11-12 14:26:49 補充：
They also say these sentences are depictive and syntactically dependant (i.e. can't move around).
Maybe I should post that article for further discussion.
2011-11-12 14:30:42 補充：
One thing for sure: you cannot say "Empty-handed he returned home.", as empty-handed is not an attributive adjective.
