“这么”和“那么”篇章不对称考察

Asymmetry of zheme and name in Chinese Discourse

本文采用实证性研究的方法,在大规模统计真实语料(1.645亿字)的基础上,全面系统地描写了"这么"和"那么"的篇章用法及其明显不对称现象。把它们在篇章中的不对称总结为时空间距离远近的对立;心理距离远近的对立;现实与虚拟的对立;熟悉度高低的对立(有指和无指的对立)。本文对连词"那么"的语法化也进行了初步的探讨。

This is an empirical study on asymmetry of zheme and name in discourse based upon authentic written corpus data of more than 164.5 million Chinese characters. The main asymmetrical dimesions of zheme and name in discourse are identified and classified into the following binary oppositions ： 1. the opposition of spatial versus temporal distance ; 2. the opposition of proximal versus distal mental distance ; 3. the opposition of factual versus fictive reference; 4. the opposition versus new and given information （demonstrative and nondemonstrative）.
