宁波方言“讲”的传信功能及其语法化

The Grammaticalization and Evidentiality Function of “讲 Jiang” in Ningbo Dialect

宁波方言"讲"在语法化机制的推动下呈现出由言说动词、引语标记词到准标句词转化的趋势,但由于句法环境和使用频率的差异,其语法化程度明显低于普通话的传信标记词"说"。

This paper expounds the evidentiality function of＂讲 Jiang＂in Ningbo dialect. In Ningbo dialect,＂讲 Jiang＂changes from a action verb to a speech mark,then becomes an expectant sentence mark under the impetus of the grammaticalization mechanism. But due to differences in the syntactic context and frequency of use,the grammaticalization process of ＂讲 Jiang＂is significantly slower than the Mandarin evidential markers word ＂说 Shuo＂.
