中西方语法化理论的发展和融合

The Development and Integration of Grammaticalization Theory in China and the Western World

我国语法化研究发端较早,既包含传统的实词虚化研究,也包含结构式及句法演化研究,还包含语法化理论研究。我国早期实词虚化思想对西方语法化理论有一定影响。西方语法化理论起始较晚但发展迅速,于20世纪90年代被引进到我国,对我国语法化理论的发展有较大促进作用;而以汉语为基础的我国语法化理论也对西方语法化理论有丰富和发展,二者逐渐走向融合。

Chinese grammaticalization has a long history. Scholars not only investigate the abstraction of concrete lexemes, but also study the evolution of constructions and syntax, and even probe into the grammaticalization theory. The theory of the abstraction of concrete lexemes has certain influences on the western grammaticalization theory, which starts late but develops quickly. The westerngrammati- calization theory was introduced to China in the 1990s and thereafter influenced Chinese grammatical- izaion theory a lot. Based on the typological characteristics of Chinese, the Chinese grammatiealizaion theory further enriches and promotes the western grammaticalization theory, thus these two theories gradually becomes integrated.
