中文摘要：

从认知语言学的框架切入,探究英语乏词义动词结构的有界化功能及其体验认知基础.研究表明,这类结构依凭不定冠词将事件名词勾勒的动作从量上予以限制,令其发挥有界化功能.这种功能的体验认知基础表现在三个维度：以过程为基体的片断突显、数态的调整以及有界化的虚拟性.

英文摘要：

From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, this paper is intended to explore two aspects concerning the English delexical verb structure, i.e. its bounding function and embodied-cognitive foundations. The analysis reveals that with the help of the indefinite article, this structure performs a bounding function by virtue of the constraint on the quantity of action depicted by the eventive noun. Furthermore, the embodied-cognitive foundations are manifested in three dimensions, i.e. episodic prominence with process as base, adjustment of plexity and virtuality of bounding.
