Abstract In a reported intentionality construction, intentionality is expressed as reported speech/thought (‘s/he says/thinks, ’). The quoted clause must contain a first person form and refer to the future. Reported intentionality displays perspective persistence and an accompanying apparent form-meaning mismatch, as it structurally marks the speech-act participant perspective of the volitional agent despite idiomatically translating only from the perspective of the current speaker. While this construction has been examined in languages around the world, this is the first treatment for the Trans-Himalayan (or Sino-Tibetan/Tibeto-Burman) language family. Monsang (South-Central; Northeast India) is shown to have a reported intentionality construction of the cross-linguistic type. In addition, there is a desiderative construction in the language that does not display perspective persistence but is argued to reconstruct back to a reported intentionality construction. Further evidence from synchronic and diachronic quotative constructions in Monsang is presented that illustrates the prominence of quotative-derived expressions of intentionality in Monsang verbal morphology.
在转述意向性结构中,意向性表现为转述的言语/思想(“s/he said /thinks,”)。引用的子句必须包含第一人称形式,并且指向将来。报告的意向性表现出视角持久性和伴随的明显的形式-意义不匹配,因为它在结构上标志着意志主体的言语-行为参与者视角,尽管习惯上只从当前说话人的视角进行翻译。虽然这种结构已经在世界各地的语言中进行了研究,但这是第一次对跨喜马拉雅语系(或汉藏语系/藏缅语系)进行研究。Monsang(中南部;东北印度)被证明具有跨语言类型的意向性结构。此外,语言中还有一种期望结构,它不显示透视图持久性,但被认为可以重构回报道的意向性结构。本文从蒙尚语共时性和历时性的引语结构中进一步证明了引语衍生的意向性表达在蒙尚语词法中的突出地位。
