“至于”的话语功能

The Discourse Function of "Zhiyu"

"至于"的话语功能是转换话题,其语义基础是"至于"前后两个话题之间存在语义上的联系。从认知角度看,转换前后的两个话题总是处于相同的认知域(认知框架)。处于同一认知域中的名词之间既有共性又有个性,因此,"至于"引导的话题存在对比性,这种对比性在"至于"与比较义词语和转折词语的共现等方面都有表现。

The discourse function of ＂zhiyu＂ is topic shifting,the basis of topic shifting is the semantic relationship between two topics which are in the same cognitive frame. The nouns in the same frame are both universal and individual,so the topics which are in the process of topic shifting are contrastive,and the contrast can be proved by the co-occur- rence between＂zhiyu＂and comparative particles/transition particles.
