新邵湘语助词“嘅样”的词汇化

Lexicalization of the Auxiliary Word [kε iɑη]in Xinshao Xiang Dialect

新邵湘语的"嘅"是结构助词,"样"是名词。在"X嘅样"结构中,"嘅样"作为跨层非短语结构,逐渐发展出了推测助词的用法:基于当前感知但不十分确切的推测,基于过去感知但不十分确切的推测,及向听话人谋求确认或提醒听话人的语用功能。中心语与修饰语的同一性和省略是"嘅样"词汇化过程中重要的诱因和机制。

[kε] is an auxiliary word and [iar j] is a noun in Xinshao Xiang dialect. As a cross-structure combination, [kε iaη ] has gradually become a conjecture auxiliary word in the structure u X ＋ [kεe iaη] ”,meaning not so confident conjecture which is based on present perception and past perception. The latter also has pragmatic functions such as to seek for further confirmation or to remind the listeners. The co-referential interpretation and ellipsis of center words and modifiers are important motivations and mechanisms during the lexicalization of [kεe iaη].
