Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify semantic characteristics of non-epistemic modality realized by ‘-l pephata’ and ‘-l manhata’. Modality can be divided into epistemic modality and root modality, which is non-epistemic modality. Epistemic modality expresses a speaker's judgment on the degree of factuality of the proposition, and root modality expresses the speaker's judgment on the likelihood of the state-of-affair. Some previous studies have seen that ‘-l pephata’ and ‘-l manhata’ express the judgment that it is possible for a situation to occur, which can be seen as pointing out that ‘-l pephata’ and ‘-l manhata’ represent the root modality. Root possibility meaning of ‘-l pephata’ and ‘-l manhata’ is analyzed by three criteria: ‘scope of the modal meaning’, ‘source of possibility’, and ‘potential barrier’. Root possibility expressed by ‘-l pephata’ corresponds to the [general situation possibility], which is wide-scope, has an external source, and has no potential barrier. In addition to the [general situation possibility], ‘-l manhata’ can express [Ability] which is narrow-scope, has an internal source. ‘-l pephata’ and ‘-l manhata’ which express [general situation possibility] differs in that ‘-l pephata’ expresses a judgement based on assimilated knowledge, whereas ‘-l manhata’ expresses a judgement based on unassimilated knowledge.

关于"-l pephata "和"-l manhata "的非表义情态意义的研究
本文旨在确定"-l pephata "和"-l manhata "实现的非表义模态的语义特征。模态可分为认识模态和词根模态(即非认识模态)。认识模态表达了说话人对命题事实性程度的判断,而根模态表达了说话人对事态可能性的判断。以往的一些研究认为,"-l pephata "和"-l manhata "表达的是对某一情境有可能发生的判断,这可以看作是指出了"-l pephata "和"-l manhata "代表的是词根模态。通过三个标准来分析"-l pephata "和"-l manhata "的词根可能性意义:模态意义的范围"、"可能性的来源 "和 "潜在障碍"。由'-l pephata'表达的根可能性对应于[一般情况可能性],它范围广,有外部来源,没有潜在障碍。除了[一般情况可能性],'-l manhata'还可以表达[能力],它范围窄,有内部来源。表达[一般情况可能性]的'-l pephata'和'-l manhata'的不同之处在于,'-l pephata'表达的是基于同化知识的判断,而'-l manhata'表达的是基于非同化知识的判断。

期刊介绍: Aim The aim of Morphology is to publish high quality articles that contribute to the further articulation of morphological theory and linguistic theory in general, or present new and unexplored data. Relevant empirical evidence for the theoretical claims in the articles will be provided by in-depth analyses of specific languages or by comparative, cross-linguistic analyses of the relevant facts. The sources of data can be grammatical descriptions, corpora of data concerning language use and other naturalistic data, and experiments. Scope Morphology publishes articles on morphology proper, as well as articles on the interaction of morphology with phonology, syntax, and semantics, the acquisition and processing of morphological information, the nature of the mental lexicon, and morphological variation and change. Its main focus is on formal models of morphological knowledge, morphological typology (the range and limits of variation in natural languages), the position of morphology in the architecture of the human language faculty, and the evolution and change of language. In addition, the journal deals with the acquisition of morphological knowledge and its role in language processing. Articles on computational morphology and neurolinguistic approaches to morphology are also welcome. The first volume of Morphology appeared as Volume 16 (2006). Previous volumes were published under the title Yearbook of Morphology.
