藏缅语的话题标记--兼与汉语比较

The Topic Markers of Tibeto-Burman Languages——A Comparison with Chinese

藏缅语的许多语言都有话题标记。话题标记可分为强制性使用、非强制性使用和零标记三种类型,具有多功能性。藏缅语的话题标记是后起的,各语言没有同源关系。与汉语相比,二者属于类型学的关系,不是发生学的关系。

The topic markers can be classified into three types： （ 1 ） constraint-induced markers; （2） unconstraint-induced markers and （3） without markers but using tone pause, ctc. The topic markers of Tibeto-Burman Languages have many functions and are of latter existence. The topic markers of each languages are not of isogeny. Compared with Chinese, both of them belong to typological relations instead of embryological relations.
