“肯”的主观性及交互主观性

The Subjectivity and Intersubjectivity of “肯”

通常认为,情态动词"肯"属于单义的动力情态,客观陈述句子主语的意愿。虽然有学者认为动力情态也带有说话人的观点和态度,但是没有具体阐述。考察实际语言运用,根据范畴理论,将"肯"的情态意义分为典型用法和非典型用法。其典型用法即表示动力情态,而非典型用法也可以表达认识情态,有时也含有道义情态的意味,体现了语言的主观性和交互主观性。

We usually regard 肯 as dynamic modality, expressing the willing of the sentence subject objectively. But examining some expressions in language, our conclusion is 肯 express epistemic modality and deontic modality as non-typical modality. And embody the subjectivity and intersubjectivity.
