焦点敏感算子“才”和“就”后指的语义差异

The Semantic Differences between Focus-Sensitive Operators Cai(才) and Jiu(就) in Cataphoric Reference

在焦点的选项语义学理论框架下,"才"的语义功能为:(一)引出等级序列;(二)肯定焦点及其蕴含选项,否定其他选项。"就"可以分为"就A"和"就B","就A"的语义功能跟"才"相同,"就B"的语义功能为:肯定焦点,否定其他选项,跟"只"相同。"才"和"就"后指时存在语义差异,这些差异跟"就"的多义性以及焦点位置不同有关。

Within the theoretical framework of Alternative Semantics for focus, the article claims that the semantic functions of Cai（才） are elucidating the hierarchical sequence as well as sanctioning focus and other entailed items. Jiu（就） may be classified into Jiu（就）A and Jiu（就）B. The semantic function of Jiu（就）A is equivalent to that of Cai（才）. Jiu（就）B and Zhi（只） have the same semantic function, that is, selecting the focus and excluding other selections. Cai（才） and Jiu（就） have semantic differences in cataphoric reference owing to the polysemous nature of Jiu（就） and the position of focus.
