差比句语义指向类型比较研究

A study of types of semantic orientation of comparative sentences

本文通过北京话与方言中差比旬类型比较研究,发现句中表示性状的词语其语义指向并不一样。如北京话"我比你大",其中"大"的语义是指向比项"我"的;而在浙江天台话中"小王是小李长"(意思为:小李比小王高),其中的"长"的语义是指向"小李"的。这种情况在某些南方方言中也有类似反映。本文把这种语言现象与汉藏语系诸亲属语言比较之后,发现天台话的差比句与藏语的表达方式具有类型上的相似性。初步结论是:天台话中表示比较标记的"是"[z]很可能类似于汉藏语系一些亲属语言中表示比较的格标记,这可以从语言类型学上寻求解释。
