谈移动的起点——汉日空间表达方式对比研究

On the starting point of a movement — A comparative study of Chinese and Japanese in expressing space

本文从对比研究的角度考察了日语和汉语关于移动起点的表达方式。日语的场所格助词“から”和“を”都可以引进移动的起点,但前者强调移动离开的场所,后者则着眼于移动的连续性,因此“を”可以进一步用于表达抽象性移动。汉语介词“从”和处所宾语结构也可表达移动的起点,但是两种结构中名词的性质不同,句式语义也有差异。本文还进一步探讨了汉语和日语在表达移动起点时的对应关系,并分析了对应范围内的例外现象。

This comparative study investigates expressions of the starting point of a movement in Chinese and Japanese. The Japanese locative case particles「から」and「を」can both be used to express the starting point of a movement. Nevertheless, the former emphasizes the physical location where the movement starts, while the latter focuses on the continuity of the movement. For this reason, the locative case particle「を」can be used to express an abstract movement. Similarly, both the Chinese preposition“从”and the Chinese locative objects can express the starting point of a movement. But the two expressions differ in the attributes of nouns used with them as well as in their basic meanings. Furthermore, this paper analyzes Chinese-Japanese correspondence in expressing the starting point of a movement and discusses several exceptional examples.
