摘要
关联动作是一种语法类别,它通过添加动作成分来修饰动词谓词,例如表明动作发生在动词所述事件之前。许多语言以连词动词结构的形式表达先验关联动作(“go and V”),而在其他语言中,同样的意思是在形态上表达的。这表明序列动词和词缀之间可能存在历时性联系,但序列动词结构和动词形态中先验关联运动的共时性分布的比较表明,这种语法化路径非常罕见。这至少可以部分解释为时间象似性和跨语言后缀偏见。我们的结论是,先动串联动词结构在历时上相对稳定。先动形态的来源更有可能是其他多动词结构,特别是那些具有非有限动词的结构,在这些结构中,为了更有效地表达这种语法类别,失去了明显的语素标记依赖,最终导致普遍化。
Do prior motion serial verbs (go) morphologize? Insights into diachrony from typology
Associated motion is a grammatical category which modifies a verbal predicate by adding a motion component such as indicating that motion took place prior to the event predicated by the verb. Many languages express prior associated motion (‘go and V’) in the form of a serial verb construction, while in other languages the same meaning is expressed morphologically. This suggests a possible diachronic link between serial verbs and affixes, but a comparison of the synchronic distributions of prior associated motion in serial verb constructions and verbal morphology reveal that such a path of grammaticalization is remarkably rare. This can be at least partially explained by temporal iconicity and a cross-linguistic suffixing bias. We conclude that prior motion serial verb constructions are relatively stable diachronically. The source of prior motion morphology is more likely other multiverb constructions, especially those with non-finite verbs where an overt morpheme marking dependency is lost to allow for a more efficient expression of this grammatical category, ultimately leading to univerbation.
