贵州遵义方言中的“NP+们”

“NP + men(们)”Construction in Zunyi Dialect

遵义方言的"们[mn]45"后附于指人名词有不同于普通话"们"的特殊用法。遵义方言"NP+们"的语缀"们"是集合标记不是复数标记,可后附于特定所指的指人名词后,表示集合意义,并推测集合标记"们"来源于表示"家庭"的"门"。

If ＂men （们） [m□n□□]＂ in Zunyi dialect is placed after noun denoting person, it has a special use different from ＂们 （men） ＂ in Putonghua. The suffix ＂们 （men）＂ in ＂NP＋ men （们）” construction, collective marker other than plural one, may be placed after noun denoting person, signifying collective meaning, and we can speculate that the collective marker ＂们（men）＂ is derived from ＂们 （men）＂ indicating ＂D （men）＂ of 家庭.（family）＂.
