Building on Goldberg’s (2006: 52) observation regarding the existence of “a family of related constructions in English” centred around the verb go, this article explores the history of the construction exemplified in the title (“Don’t go getting into trouble again!”) and its relation to other members of the network of go-constructions. The analysis, conducted using three large corpora, shows that the Go VPing construction emerges from two source constructions (one with an –ing participle following the verb go and the other with an infinitive) which exhibit overlap in terms of certain aspects of their form and meaning. From its earliest attestations in the eighteenth century, the Go VPing construction has grown increasingly more interpersonal, and has become conventionalized as a marker of admonitive mood (Bybee et al. 1994: 321) which serves to dissuade or limit the performance of an activity that is apprehended as undesirable and counter-normative.

“别再惹麻烦了！”

基于 Goldberg (2006: 52) 关于存在以动词 go 为中心的“一系列相关英语结构”的观察，本文探讨了标题中举例说明的结构的历史（“不要再陷入麻烦了”） ！”）及其与 go-constructions 网络其他成员的关系。使用三个大型语料库进行的分析表明，Go VPing 结构源自两个源结构（一个在动词 go 后面带有 –ing 分词，另一个带有不定式），这两个源结构在形式和某些方面表现出重叠。意义。从 18 世纪最早的证明开始，Go VPing 结构已经变得越来越人际化，并且已经成为常规的警告情绪标记（Bybee 等人，1994：321），其作用是劝阻或限制以下活动的表现：被认为是不受欢迎且违反规范的。
