现代汉语能性补语的语法化

Grammaticalization of potential verb-complement in Mandarin Chinese

根据情态意义类型语法化的顺序,从语用推理、句子内部因素和能性补语的构成三个方面证明,现代汉语能性补语可以表达认识情态意义,并且,这一表现在能性补语的肯定形式和否定形式上具有不对称性,否定形式的语法化程度高于肯定形式,在句法上有一系列的表现。

Based on the order of the grammatiealization of the modality semantic type, this paper conducts an analysis from three perspectives,pragmatic inference, the syntactic inner elements and potential verb -complement. This paper argues that modern Chinese potential verb-complements can express the meaning of epistemic modality, which shows an asymmetry in the positive and negative forms of potential verb-complement. The degree of grammaticalization of the negative form is higher than that of the positive form,which can be seen in the syntaxes.
