条件关系接续词的条件语义弱化现象研究

On conditional semantic reduction of Japanese conditional connectives

本文从真值语义与非真值语义两个角度区分了条件关系接续词的不同用法,着重考察了条件关系接续词的非真值语义表达,即条件语义关系发生弱化的现象。通过将条件关系接续词连接的前项与后项还原为条件关系句的方式,确定了判断条件语义关系弱化程度的标准。同时结合语料实例,考察了影响条件语义关系弱化的四个因素,分别为接续词连接的语言单位、语体使用分布、情态限制条件以及作用域,初步建构起了分析验证条件关系接续词条件语义关系弱化的行之有效的基本框架,并对各条件关系接续词的用法区别做了宏观考察。

This paper distinguishes various usages of Japanese conditional connectives in terms of truth value and non-truth value meaning,and searches non-truth value expressions of conditional connectives,which are also called the reduction of conditional relations.By means of transforming connective sentences to particle connective sentences,this paper establishes a criterion of measuring the degree of conditional semantic reduction.Based on various data,this paper summarizes four elements that effect on conditional semantic reduction,which are,language units that are connected,style or genre in colloquial and written language,restrictions on modality and domains where conditional connectives take function.This paper proposes an effective framework which can be used to check conditional semantic reduction,and summarizes the different usages of conditional connectives from a macroscopic view.
