Abstract
The present study is concerned with complex sentences known as concessive conditionals from a
functional-typological perspective. It examines the coding strategies used in the protasis of the three subtypes of concessive
conditionals – viz. scalar, alternative, and universal concessive conditionals – in a global sample of 17 languages, thus
complementing a previous study of their formal properties in European languages (Haspelmath
& König 1998). The results include some coding strategies which are unattested in European languages and suggest
that Haspelmath & König’s division between languages which mark the three subtypes uniformly and languages which mark them
differentially is too simplistic, there being at least four overall marking patterns rather than two. Although these results are
only preliminary in nature, they do look promising for future research, which should be based on a larger and more strictly
stratified sample.
本研究从功能类型学的角度关注被称为让步条件句的复句。它在17种语言的全球样本中研究了让步条件的三种亚型(即标量、替代和通用让步条件)的基础中使用的编码策略，从而补充了先前在欧洲语言中对其形式特性的研究(哈斯珀尔马斯& König 1998)。结果包括一些在欧洲语言中未经证实的编码策略，并表明哈斯帕尔马斯和König在统一标记三种亚型的语言和不同标记它们的语言之间的划分过于简单，至少有四种整体标记模式而不是两种。虽然这些结果只是初步的，但它们对未来的研究确实很有希望，未来的研究应该基于更大、更严格的分层样本。
期刊介绍：
Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
