Abstract

This paper examines the syntactic, intonational and information structural properties of discontinuous nominal constructions in Cantonese. Four different syntactic constructions are identified which are used to indicate different information status of elements in a noun phrase, all involving two full NPs with either overt or covert heads. Discourse particles play a crucial role, not only for the interpretation of information structure, but also as anchoring points for boundary tones. Otherwise, intonation and prosody are not affected by word order changes, with the exception of optional pauses after or before dislocated constituents. Cet article examine la structure de l’information des syntagmes nominaux discontinus en Cantonais, ainsi que leurs proprietes syntaxiques et intonatives. Quatre constructions syntaxiques distinctes ont ete identifiees qui servent a exprimer des roles specifiques de structure de l’information sur des parties de syntagmes nominaux. Ces roles impliquent deux syntagmes nominaux complets et independants l’un de l’autre, avec des tetes prononcees ou non. Les particules discursives jouent un role essentiel, non seulement pour l’interpretation de la structure de l’information, mais aussi pour l’ancrage des tons de frontiere. L’intonation et la prosodie ne jouent aucun role en dehors des pauses facultatives avant ou apres les syntagmes discontinus. L’intonation n’est pas affectee par les changements d’ordre des mots.

粤语不连续名词性结构的词序、信息结构和语调/粤语不连续名词性句子的词序、信息结构和语调
本文研究了广东话不连续名词结构的句法、语调和信息结构特征。四种不同的句法结构用于表示名词短语中元素的不同信息状态,所有这些句法结构都涉及两个完整的NPs,有明显的头或隐蔽的头。语篇小词不仅在信息结构的解释中起着至关重要的作用,而且作为边界语气的锚定点。除此之外,语调和韵律不受词序变化的影响,除了错位成分之后或之前的可选停顿。本文考察了广东话中语法信息的结构、语法信息和语调信息的结构。四元结构语法区分了不同的身份、不同的服务、不同的角色、不同的结构、不同的信息、不同的句法、不同的名称。这两个角色隐含着双重合成词、名词完成词、独立词和非独立词。无粒子的话语不具有本质的作用,无结构的话语不具有解释性,无结构的话语不具有解释性,无边界的话语不具有解释性,无边界的话语不具有解释性。语调、韵律、语序、语序、语序、语序、语序、语序、语序、语序、语序断续。语调和语调会影响音调的变化和音调的顺序。

期刊介绍: The Cahiers is an international linguistics journal whose mission is to publish new and original research on the analysis of languages of the Asian region, be they descriptive or theoretical. This clearly reflects the broad research domain of our laboratory : the Centre for Linguistic Research on East Asian Languages (CRLAO). The journal was created in 1977 by Viviane Alleton and Alain Peyraube and has been directed by three successive teams of editors, all professors based at the CRLAO in Paris. An Editorial Board, composed of scholars from around the world, assists in the reviewing process and in a consultative role.
