Abstract Morphological complexity is expected to decrease under mass admixture from adult second language speakers. While this has been chiefly shown for morphological richness, an unresolved question is whether the effect extends to aspects of morphological boundedness. Here we report a case study of Sino-Tibetan verbs, contrasting verbal expressions of two languages with very large (Chinese, Burmese) and of two languages with very small (Bunan, Chintang) numbers of second language speakers. We find that while the amount of second language speakers accounts for differences in the range and number of inflectional categories (degrees of synthesis), it does not affect the way in which morphological constituents are bound together, reflecting fortification through a mix of diachronically stable and universally preferred patterns. This calls for theoretical models that narrow down the range of changes that are driven by second language speaker admixture, and for extensive empirical testing on a global scale.
在成年第二语言使用者的大量混合下,形态学复杂性有望降低。虽然这主要表现在形态丰富度上,但一个尚未解决的问题是,这种影响是否延伸到形态有界性的各个方面。本文报告了汉藏动词的个案研究,对比了两种语言(汉语、缅甸语)和两种语言(扶南语、金塘语)的动词表达。我们发现,虽然第二语言使用者的数量可以解释屈折类型(合成程度)的范围和数量的差异,但它并不影响形态成分结合在一起的方式,这反映了通过历时稳定和普遍首选模式的混合而加强的方式。这就要求建立理论模型,缩小由第二语言使用者混杂造成的变化范围,并在全球范围内进行广泛的实证测试。

Abstract According to Goldberg (1995) , placement verbs (such as put) are instantiated in the Caused-Motion Construction. Rohde (2001) , however, argued that placement verbs in fact occur in a different construction, which she names the Caused-Position Construction, whose semantic value is not ‘cause to move’ but rather ‘cause to be positioned’. The present paper redefines and justifies the postulation of Caused-Position Construction. The Caused-Position Construction is compatible with not only placement verbs but also a variety of other verbs, such as verbs of creation (write or build) or certain stative verbs (want or need), many of which also occur in the Locative Inversion construction. Further, a similar distinction between Caused-Motion and Caused-Position can be attested in Mandarin as well, which suggests that the distinction between two patterns of spatial causation may not be idiosyncratically confined to the English language but motivated by the general patterns of human cognition.
根据Goldberg(1995)的观点,放置动词(例如put)是在起因运动结构中实例化的。然而,Rohde(2001)认为,放置动词实际上是以一种不同的结构出现的,她将其命名为导致位置结构,其语义价值不是“导致移动”,而是“导致定位”。本文对因位结构的假设进行了重新定义和论证。导致位置结构不仅与放置动词兼容,还与其他各种动词兼容,例如创造动词(write或build)或某些静态动词(want或need),其中许多也出现在位置倒装结构中。此外,在普通话中也可以证明因果运动和因果位置之间的类似区别,这表明两种空间因果模式之间的区别可能并不局限于英语语言,而是由人类认知的一般模式驱动的。

Additive particle uses in Hungarian 匈牙利语中添加粒子的用法

Abstract In this paper, we investigate empirical data that raise challenging issues with respect to focus sensitivity of the Hungarian additive particle is ‘also, too’. In Hungarian, the additive particle is attached to a constituent, and the is-phrase cannot occupy the structural focus position. This raises the issue how to capture the focus sensitivity of is. We propose a primarily pragmatic, context-based analysis of the Hungarian additive particle, where the particle associates with the pragmatic focus ( Lambrecht 1994 ) determined on basis of the immediate question under discussion ( Roberts 2012 ). Important evidence for this claim is that the Hungarian additive particle can take different semantic associates, corresponding to the pragmatic focus of the sentence. After discussing the Hungarian data, we will present the analysis in the framework of Role and Reference Grammar ( Van Valin & LaPolla 1997 ; Van Valin 2005 ). To capture Hungarian and English data in a uniform way, important extensions of the framework will be proposed.
摘要在本文中,我们研究的经验数据,提出具有挑战性的问题,就匈牙利添加剂颗粒的焦点敏感性是“也,太”。在匈牙利语中,加性粒子附着在一个成分上,is-短语不能占据结构焦点位置。这就提出了如何捕捉其焦点灵敏度的问题。我们建议对匈牙利语加性语词进行主要语用、基于语境的分析,其中语词与基于讨论中的直接问题确定的语用焦点(Lambrecht 1994)相关联(Roberts 2012)。支持这一观点的重要证据是,匈牙利语助动词可以采取不同的语义关联,对应于句子的语用焦点。在讨论匈牙利的数据之后,我们将在角色和参考语法的框架下进行分析(Van Valin & LaPolla 1997;Van Valin 2005)。为了以统一的方式获取匈牙利语和英语数据,将提出对该框架的重要扩展。

Abstract This paper reports on the Tibeto-Burman language, Nubri, of the high Himalayan region of northern central Nepal. Specifically, data is presented to illustrate the use of tone to mark two morphological features in the language: the use of a H tone suffix to mark the genitive case, and the use of a H tone prefix to mark an increase in transitivity. This is the first account of these phenomena in Nubri and an analysis is presented before contextualizing the phenomena in a typological perspective.

Kokborok and the simple-complex reflexive distinction Kokborok和简单-复杂反身的区别

Abstract This paper presents an in-depth investigation of the binding strategies in Kokborok and we will look more specifically how this sheds light on the theories of reflexivization. Kokborok, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Tripura, a state in the North-East of India, has two reflexives: sak sak ‘self self’ and sak baithaŋ ‘self self’. The form sak sak ‘self self’ conforms to Principle A of classic Binding Theory, blocking long-distance binding, but this does not hold true for sak baithaŋ allowing non-local binding. It is a well-established fact that some reflexives allow non-local binding, but it is generally assumed that this phenomenon is limited to a certain type of reflexive, morpho-syntactically ‘simple reflexives.’ The so-called ‘complex reflexives’ generally bar non-local binding, and the Kokborok reflexive sak baithaŋ seems an exception to that. This paper explores the uniqueness involved in the nature of anaphoric binding in Kokborok.
本文对《Kokborok》中的绑定策略进行了深入的研究,并将更具体地探讨这一研究如何揭示反身化理论。Kokborok是印度东北部特里普拉邦使用的一种藏缅语,有两个反身词:sak sak“self self”和sak baithang“self self”。sak sak ' self self '的形式符合经典绑定理论的A原则,阻止远距离绑定,但这并不适用于允许非局部绑定的sak baithak。一些反身性允许非局部绑定,这是一个公认的事实,但通常认为这种现象仅限于某种类型的反身性,即形态语法上的简单反身性。所谓的“复杂反身词”通常禁止非局部约束,Kokborok的反身词sak baithak似乎是个例外。本文探讨了Kokborok语中回指结合的独特性。

Abstract This paper provides a detailed description of the results of 24 constituency diagnostics, both morphosyntactic and phonological, to Chacobo, a southern Pano language of the northern Bolivian Amazon. While it is often assumed that misalignments across the domains that emerge from constituency diagnostics can be resolved by reference to a distinction between phonological and morphosyntactic words, I argue that this is not true of Chacobo. Divergence is at least as high within phonological domains and morphosyntactic domains as it is across them. While it is often assumed that domains tend to converge overall on a single wordhood candidate or that domain divergence is marginal, I argue that this is not true of Chacobo. I present a cluster of methodologies that assess the motivation for a word constituent as an empirical hypothesis, rather than treating it as an a priori assumption. No strong evidence for a word constituent emerges from the Chacobo data. Theoretical and methodological implications are discussed.
摘要本文提供了24选区诊断结果的详细描述,包括形态句法和音系,以查科博语,玻利维亚北部亚马逊南部帕诺语。虽然人们通常认为,从选区诊断中出现的跨域失调可以通过参考音系和形态句法词之间的区别来解决,但我认为这对查科博语来说并不正确。语音域和形态句法域之间的差异至少与它们之间的差异一样高。虽然通常假设域倾向于在单个候选词上总体收敛,或者域分歧是边缘的,但我认为Chacobo并非如此。我提出了一组方法来评估一个词组成的动机作为一个经验假设,而不是把它作为一个先验的假设。Chacobo的数据中没有强有力的证据表明存在一个词的成分。讨论了理论和方法意义。

Native deaf signers express epistemic modality by different means: mental-state words, clause-internal particles, signs indicating hypothesis, and nonmanually. The data for this study come from two unrelated sign languages, Danish Sign Language and Japanese Sign Language. In dialogues the signers use both calques of majority-language words and signs that appear to have emerged in the sign languages only. Based on the multifunctionality of some word forms, the origin of the epistemic modal particles may be traced back to tags, interjections, and lexical signs, a route motivated by interaction and also found in unrelated spoken languages. Furthermore, in both sign languages, the first-person pronoun can be used, without a verb, as an epistemic “anchor” of a proposition, a construction that seems specific to languages in the gestural-visual modality. Another modality-specific feature is the possibility of transferring the expression of a marker of epistemic uncertainty from one articulator to another.
聋人手语表达认知情态的方式不同:心理状态词、子句内部小品、暗示假设的符号和非手动。这项研究的数据来自两种不相关的手语,丹麦手语和日本手语。在对话中,手语者既使用多数语言单词的符号,也使用似乎只出现在手语中的符号。基于某些词形的多功能性,认知情态助词的起源可以追溯到标签、感叹词和词汇符号,这是一种由相互作用激发的途径,在不相关的口语中也有发现。此外,在两种手语中,第一人称代词可以在没有动词的情况下用作命题的认知“锚”,这种结构似乎是手势视觉形态语言所特有的。另一个特定于情态的特征是将认知不确定性标记的表达从一个发音者转移到另一个发音者的可能性。

Multiple functions of the Cantonese ‘wait’ verb dang2 and their historical development 广东话“等”动词“当”的多种功能及其历史发展

Abstract The diachronic development of morphemes meaning ‘wait’ has not been well documented. This paper describes multiple functions of the ‘wait’ verb dang2 in Hong Kong Cantonese: (a) a verb meaning ‘be in need of’, (b) a permissive verb meaning ‘let’, (c) a causative verb meaning ‘cause’, (d) a temporal marker meaning ‘at, when’, (e) a particle for giving notice of a coming event, and (f) a subordinating conjunction signifying someone’s surprise. Four development paths are proposed to account for the multifunctionality: ‘wait’ > (a); ‘wait’ > (d); ‘wait’ > (b) > (e); and ‘wait’ > (c) > (f). This case draws attention to the potential of ‘wait’ morphemes to be employed to express various other abstract concepts and, furthermore, highlights the role of indirect sources in the theory of grammaticalization.
“等待”语素的历时性发展尚未得到很好的研究。本文描述了“等待”动词dang2在香港粤语中的多种功能:(a)表示“需要”的动词,(b)表示“让”的容许动词,(c)表示“原因”的使役动词,(d)表示“在,何时”的时间标记,(e)表示即将发生的事件的助词,以及(f)表示某人惊讶的从属连词。提出了四条发展路径来解释多功能:“等待”> (a);' wait ' > (d);' wait ' > (b) > (e);和' wait ' > (c) > (f)。这个例子引起了人们对' wait '语素用于表达各种其他抽象概念的潜力的关注,并且进一步强调了间接来源在语法化理论中的作用。

Dutch thetic and sentence-focus constructions on the semantics-pragmatics interface 荷兰语语义-语用界面上的审美和句子焦点结构

Abstract This article studies the various uses of a Dutch thetic and sentence-focus construction, viz. the Syntactic Inversion with Filler Insertion Construction (henceforth: SIFIC), e.g. Er loopt een man over straat (‘There is a man walking across the street’). The article investigates whether theticity and sentence-focus are semantically encoded meanings of the SIFIC or pragmatically inferred senses. SIFIC tokens (N = 750) were extracted from the Dutch SoNaR Corpus and annotated for five factors. The analysis shows that the SIFIC can have information-structural uses that are diametrically opposed to theticity and sentence-focus, i.e. topic-comment structure, predicate-focus articulation and categorical judgment. It is argued that theticity and sentence-focus can therefore not be regarded as the encoded semantics of the SIFIC, but should rather be analyzed as default senses of the construction. Based on similar cross-linguistic findings the article takes issue with the assumption that most languages have dedicated thetic and sentence-focus constructions.
摘要本文研究了荷兰语的一种以句子为中心的句法倒装结构(以下简称SIFIC)的各种用法,如“Er loopt een man over straat”(“有一个人在过马路”)。文章探讨了主体性和句子焦点究竟是SIFIC的语义编码意义还是语用推断意义。从荷兰语声纳语料库中提取SIFIC标记(N = 750),并对五个因素进行注释。分析表明,SIFIC具有与实体性和句子焦点截然相反的信息结构用途,即话题-评论结构、谓词-焦点发音和直言判断。因此,实体性和句子焦点不能被看作是SIFIC的编码语义,而应被分析为结构的默认意义。基于类似的跨语言研究结果,本文对大多数语言都有专门的审美和句子焦点结构的假设提出了质疑。

It is argued that theticity and sentence-focus can therefore not be regarded as the encoded semantics of the SIFIC, but should rather be analyzed as default senses of the construction. Based on similar cross-linguistic findings the article takes issue with the assumption that most languages have dedicated thetic and sentence-focus constructions.","PeriodicalId":46377,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Language","volume":"28 1","pages":"831-878"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73700861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract As pointed out by Corbett ( 2006 , 2012 ), animacy manifests itself in the grammar of languages in two ways: as a feature and as a condition for the realization of other features. In this work I explore this dual behavior by adding further crosslinguistic evidence. I provide examples affecting number, person, case, and gender, and show that, regarding this distinction, they cannot be analyzed in the same way. Moreover, I examine more closely the relation between these manifestations of animacy and show that they can operate simultaneously not only within the same language but also in the same phenomenon. For these cases, I establish a hierarchy between them that can be crossed with the equally hierarchical relation between the animate/inanimate and the human/nonhuman distinction.
Corbett(2006, 2012)指出,在语言语法中,动画表现为两种形式:一种是作为一种特征,另一种是作为实现其他特征的条件。在这项工作中,我通过增加进一步的跨语言证据来探索这种双重行为。我提供了影响数字、人、案例和性别的例子,并表明,关于这种区别,它们不能以同样的方式进行分析。此外,我更仔细地研究了这些动物性表现之间的关系,并表明它们不仅可以在同一语言中同时起作用,而且可以在同一现象中同时起作用。对于这些情况,我在它们之间建立了一个等级关系,这个等级关系可以与有生命/无生命以及人类/非人类之间的等级关系相交叉。
