Abstract

The Dongxiang language, spoken in Southern Gansu province in the People’s Republic of China, is a Mongolic language that has been in contact with Linxianese, a neighboring Chinese dialect. These contacts have induced massive phonological and lexical changes in the Dongxiang language, but only a few syntactic changes due to the influence of Linxianese can be traced. In this paper, I describe and analyze two particular cases of the grammatical function expansion of two suffixes, -ni and -ji, used with ­adjectives in Dongxiang. From those examples, I try to show that there is a difference between two phenomena present in the Dongxiang language, one being closer to a calque and the other closer to grammaticalization, and eventually metatypy. I also describe a hypothetical borrowing process reflecting the grammatical integration of these two suffixes. La langue dongxiang, parlee dans le sud du Gansu en Republique Populaire de Chine, est une langue mongolique qui a ete en contact avec le dialecte chinois voisin de Linxia. Celui-ci a influence la langue dongxiang sur le plan phonologique et lexical de facon importante alors que la syntaxe ne semble pas avoir ete autant influencee. Dans cet article, je decris et analyse deux suffixes, -ni et -ji, utilises avec des adjectifs, dont les fonctions se sont etendues sous l’influence du linxianais. A partir de ces exemples, j’essaye de montrer qu’il existe deux phenomenes distincts, l’un se rapprochant du calque et l’autre de la grammaticalisation, et eventuellement de la metatypie. Je tente egalement de decrire le processus d’emprunt possible qui reflete l’integration grammaticale des deux suffixes dans la langue dongxiang.

东乡语的分词、结构借用与元类型
东乡语是中华人民共和国甘肃省南部使用的一种蒙古语,与邻近的中国方言临县话有联系。这些接触引起了东乡语大量的语音和词汇变化,但由于临县话的影响,句法变化很少。本文描述和分析了东乡语中与-形容词连用的-ni和-ji两个后缀的语法功能扩展情况。通过这些例子,我试图说明东乡语中存在的两种现象之间的差异,一种更接近于calque,另一种更接近于语法化,最终是元类型化。我还描述了一个假设的借用过程,反映了这两个后缀的语法整合。东乡话、甘肃话、甘肃话、临夏话、甘肃话、甘肃话、临夏话、甘肃话、甘肃话。celuci对汉语的影响主要体现在语音学、语音学、语词、语体、句法、语体等方面。在这篇文章中,他描述并分析了双后缀-ni和-ji,使用了大量的形容词,不使用功能,使用了大量的形容词,从而影响了林仙语。一个人举例说,一个人会有两种不同的现象,一个人会有一种不同的现象,一个人会有一种不同的现象,一个人会有一种不同的现象,一个人会有一种不同的现象,一个人会有一种不同的现象,一个人会有一种不同的现象,一个人会有一种不同的现象。双后缀在语法上的整合是一种可能的反映。

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.
