位移动词“到”的语义扩展与语法化探讨

Spatial Displacement Verb "Dao": Semantic Extension and Grammaticalization

"到"是汉语里的高频词,其语义从表达空间位移逐渐演变为其他领域的移动,经历了具体到抽象的虚化过程。以往研究多从传统语法角度对其词性和语法功能进行讨论。本文结合认知语言学理论,从认知心理层面出发对其词义演变过程做出系列推拟和归纳,着重对其语法化过程中的虚化机制和特征进行探讨。本研究结合历时与共时研究,以期对其语义扩展过程进行综合呈现。

Spatial displacement verb ＂dao＂ now extends from the expression of spatial movement to other domains. Researchers approached it from traditional linguistic perspective while my study focuses on its semantic extension based on cognitive linguistics. This paper tries to explore its cognitive mechanisms underlying grammaticalization, which will benefit our study in this aspect in the future.
