类型学视角下的汉韩第三人称形式对比

The Contrast of the Third Person Forms of Chinese and Korean from the Perspective of Linguistic Typology

本文以第三人称形式为对比项,在类型学的视角下探讨汉韩语的类型差异,寻求类型差异背后的规律,发掘围绕对比项的语言机制。汉语是三人称语言,韩语是二人称语言。二、三人称语言类型差异的背后隐含着语法化程度的高低之分和可及性连续统上的位置之别。从系统和功能的稳定性来看,汉韩语有关第三人称形式的类型差异能够与句子内部信息递增模式的类型差异形成补偿机制。

This article contrasts the third person forms of Mandarin and Korean from the perspective of linguistic typology. Starting from the typological distinction, the article also explores the competing motivation which revolves around the tertium comparationis. Mandarin is a three- person language, and Korean is a two-person language. The typological distinction of third person forms implies different degrees of grammaticalization and different positions in the accessibility continuum. From the point of view of functional stability, the typological distinction of third person forms and the typological distinction of information packaging can form a compensatory system which reflects the interaction of typological patterns.
