Abstract

This article explores the question of why Medieval French does not use se -constructions as exhaustively as other Medieval Romance varieties and why the indefinite pronoun on is clearly the preferred choice. It is claimed that se exhibits affix-like behavior in passive constructions and that it is very likely to be a morphological exponent of absorbing the [+Def] feature on T in IACs. These assumptions are connected to the possibility within a language system to store affixes as independent lexical entries, following Speas, 1995 . It will be shown that Medieval French seems to be a language system in flux in which signs of NSL > non-NSL were present over a longer period of time. The uncertain status of affixes within these radical changes would have prompted learners to go for a multifunctional solution that is readily available and unequivocally identifiable: on .

中世纪法语中On、Se及相关的价格变化
本文探讨了为什么中世纪法语不像其他中世纪浪漫主义变体那样详尽地使用se-constructions,以及为什么不定代词on显然是首选。据称,se在被动结构中表现出词缀样行为,并且很可能是IACs中吸收T上[+Def]特征的形态指数。根据Speas,1995,这些假设与语言系统中词缀作为独立词条存储的可能性有关。可以看出,中世纪法语似乎是一个不断变化的语言系统,在这个系统中,NSL>非NSL的标志在更长的时间内出现。词缀在这些根本性变化中的不确定地位将促使学习者选择一种易于获得且明确可识别的多功能解决方案:on。

期刊介绍: Lingvisticæ Investigationes publishes original articles dealing with the lexicon, grammar, phonology and semantics. It focuses on studies that are formalized to the point where they can be integrated into text analysis software, and on studies which describe resources such as grammars and electronic dictionaries constructed on a linguistic basis. Articles may deal with any language, though a large proportion are devoted to the study of French. The journal also publishes bibliographies, summaries of theses, reports, squibs and reviews. Contributions are in English and French. French-speaking authors are free to submit in French or in English. The journal has an accompanying book series entitled Lingvisticæ Investigationes Supplementa .
