王蕾著的《把字句及其英语表达研究》从“概念”、“态度”和“篇章”三个层面来研究“把”字句在现代汉语语篇中的意义及其在英语语篇中的表达形式。研究的基本路径是“提出假设一实证研究一得出结论”。主要结论包括：1)“概念”层面上，各种类型的“把”字句形成了一个表达致使情境的连续统；英语中可以表达致使义的句式非常多样，其中最常见的句式包括sv0、sv0A以及svoc。2)“态度”层面上，“把”字句体现为一种评价资源，主要用来放大说话者的态度；在英语中这种语用功能可以通过“直接评价词汇”，“态度突显词汇”及“非常规句型”等手段来实现。3)“篇章”层面上，“把”字句中的主语是主要话题，宾语是次要话题。二者在语篇中多为链中话题，有承上启下的衔接作用。此外，本研究还通过发掘“把”字句表达致使义的认知语义特征，来解释其意义的独特性。
