30年来汉语虚词研究的发展趋势与当前课题

The Development Trend of Chinese Function Word Studies in 30 Years and the Current Issues of Study

汉语虚词具有不同于印欧语虚词的特点,要想全面深刻地揭示汉语语法规律,科学合理地阐释语法形式与语法意义之间对应或不对应的关系,就必须花大力气对各类虚词进行尽可能详尽透彻的研究。30年来,汉语虚词研究最为重要与富有前景的领域涉及语法化、主观化、词汇化、构式化、标记化、元语言、语义地图、附缀化八个方面。当然,当前虚词研究也存在着一系列不足与需要进一步突破之处。

Chinese function words are different from those in Indo-European languages.Extensive and intensive efforts are needed in this field so as to shed light on Chinese gram-mar rules and to explain the corresponding or non-corresponding relationships between grammatical form and grammatical meaning.In recent three decades,Chinese function word studies have witnessed important and promising development in such areas as grammaticalization,subjectivization,lexicalization,constructionalization,marking,metalanguage,semantic map,and cliticization.Still,there is room for further study.
