“X了”的虚化问题——以“完了”的个案研究为例

On the Grammaticalization of "X-le"

现代汉语中有一类经常使用的“X了”已经发生了虚化演变,其中“完了”就比较典型,它已经变为具有篇章连接功能的关联副词(本文称为“完了2”),我们认为它是由表示“结束”意义的“完了”(本文称为“完了1”)虚化而来的,文章在分析“X了”虚化机制的基础上,重点考察从“完了1”到“完了2”的虚化过程,探讨“完了2”的词性与功能。

In spoken Chinese, there is a widely-used ＂wanle＂ which has changed into a textual connective adverb, which is called ＂wanle2＂ in this paper. ＂Wanle2＂ is gradually grammaticalized by ＂wanle＂ which means ＂when finished＂, which is called ＂wanlel＂ in this paper. The paper mainly talks about the grammaticalized course from ＂wanlet＂ to ＂wanle2＂ as well as the characteristic and function of ＂wanle＂.
