河南林州方言中表可能的情态助词“咾”

The Modal Auxiliary "lao" Expressing Possibility in Linzhou Dialect

林州方言中表示可能意义的情态助词“咾”位于句尾,表示某种情况可能实现,其句法功能就是为所附加的句子增添一种可能语意,使得整个句子相当于普通话中含有格式“V得C”的句子。

This paper focuses on the auxiliary ＂lao＂ in Linzhou dialect. It only appears at the end of a sentence to express that certain instance maybe take place in the future. As an modal auxiliary, the syntactic function of ＂lao＂ is to add the potential meaning to a sentence to make the whole sentence be equivalent to the sentence containing the construction ＂V de C＂ in common spoken Chinese.
