近年來，許多語言學家利用語料庫來研究動詞近義詞組。為了更加了解中文動詞的詞彙語意，此篇論文試圖研究中文近義詞組「搬、遷、移」之詞彙語意。在本篇研究中，我們主要是參考Fillmore(1992)所提的Frame Semantics找出「搬、遷、移」這個詞組所需要的詞彙語意角色。並根據Chang等人(2000)所提的動詞事件結構測試方法，測試這三個動詞的事件結構。最後依據Huang等人(2000)所提的中文動詞詞彙語意的表達架構(Module-Attribute Representation of Verbal Semantics) ， 將近義詞組「搬、遷、移」之詞彙語意表達出來。本篇研究顯示，「搬、遷、移」這三個動詞指涉不同的事件結構與語意角色。「搬」需要< Mover, Moved Object >這些角色並指涉一個啟始動作(inchoative process)；「遷」要求< Mover, Moved Object, Goal>這些角色並指涉一個始終動作(bounded process)；「移」需要< Mover, Moved Object, Path>這些角色並指涉一個啟始階段(inchoative stage) 。另外，一些語意屬性，例如移動時的分離與否、移動方式與移動物體的具象性，也深深影響這三個動詞的詞彙語意。

In the past years, interesting findings have been proposed regarding the semantic structure and meaning contrasts on verbs. Adopting a corpus-based approach, researchers have accounted for sets of near-synonyms to explore the nature of Chinese verbal semantics (Tsai et al., 1996; Chief et al., 1998; Liu, 2002). To further explore Chinese verbal semantics, this study aims to determine various meaning aspects that are linguistically crucial for differentiating the verb class involving locational change — verbs of moving. Three near-synonyms BAN (搬), QIAN (遷) and YI (移) will be examined with reference to contrastive methodology (Tsai, et al., 1998), frame semantics (Fillmore, 1992) and image schema analysis (Johnson, 1987). The observed outcomes are translated into a representational scheme, called Module-Attribute Representation of Verbal Semantics, proposed by Huang, et al. (2000). The verbs characterize different event structures, roles and role internal attributes. BAN describes an inchoative process; QIAN encodes a bounded process; while YI characterizes an inchoative stage. As for the required participant roles in the role module, BAN requires < Mover, Moved Object >; QIAN demands < Mover, Moved Object, Goal> and YI needs < Mover, Moved Object, Path>. In addition, semantic attributes such as detachment, source of movement and concreteness of object will determine the behaviors and expressions of the three verbs.
