福州话与闽南话否定词“无”的时貌意义

Aspectuality of the Negative Word Wu (无) of Fuzhou and Minnan Dialects

时貌意义分为“词汇时貌”和“语法时貌”两类。福州话与闽南话的否定词“无”都能与“词汇时貌”与“语法时貌”互动。只有在与动态事件合用时,“无”才有词汇时貌意义。“无”与“不存在,不拥有”延伸到表“已然事件与状态”的语法时貌,更进一步将延伸到表“习惯”的时貌意义。

The paper discussed the two kinds of aspectual meaning, lexical vs. grammatical,of the negative word wu of Fuzhou and Minnan dialects. The lexical aspect of wu,denoting perfective or completive, is used only in dynamic events, whereas its grammatical aspect denotes imperfective or state, and further more habitual, a derivation from its meaning of non-existence or non-possession.
