湖南汨罗方言的持续体貌助词“徛”、“徛个”

On the Continuous Aspect Particle ti(徛) andtikei(徛个) in the Miluo Dialect of Hunan Province

湖南汨罗方言的"徛[t i21]""徛个[t i21kei33]"是使用频率很高的持续体貌助词,前者用法复杂、分布面广。两者关系密切,但在句法分布、语义组合等方面存在差别。"徛"的声母不送气,而汨罗四周方言及湖南境内诸多方言的持续体"起[□□i]"都是送气声母,显得颇不"合群"。不过,虚成分"徛"的多功能模式与汨罗邻近的长沙、宁乡等方言中对应的"起"大致平行,加上有周边省份方言作为旁证,可推测"徛"读不送气应该是动词"起"在虚化过程中伴随了语音弱化的结果,"徛"的语源极有可能就是趋向动词"起"。

In the Miluo Dialect of Hunan Province,the continuous aspect particles ti（徛）,tikei（徛个） are high frequency words.The former has complicated usages with wide distribution.ti（徛） and tikei（徛个） are closely related but different in the syntactic distribution,semantic combination and other aspects.It looks quite unusual that the initial of ti（徛） is unaspirated whereas the continuous aspect particle t□i（起） is aspirated in many dialects in the neighboring regions of Miluo and Hunan Province.Nevertheless,the multifunction mode of function word ti徛） is roughly parallel to the t□i（起） in the dialects such as Changsha and Ningxiang,coupled with the circumstantial evidence of dialects in surrounding provinces,it can be inferred that the unaspirated initial of t°i徛） is a phonological weakening of the verb t□i（起） that occurred in the process of grammaticalization.The aspect particle ti（徛） may originate from the directional verb t□i（起）.
