基于“三域”理论的结果连词主观性研究

A study of subjectivity in Chinese causal connectives based on the “three domains” theory

文章基于"三域"理论,对汉语中6个常用因果连词的使用域进行统计,考察其主观性大小,结果为:"可见">"所以">"因此/因而">"于是">"结果",并发现连词主观性大小对句子的认知和合法性会产生影响。其次,发现零形式标记比显性标记使用频繁,常用于"非意愿性行域""非因果知域"和"言域"。研究结果有助于汉语教学中对结果连词使用域的解释和结果连词的区分。

Based on the theory of “three conceptual domains”, we have investigated the causal categories of six frequently used Chinese causal connectives to identify their different kinds of subjectivity. The results show that “kejian （可见）” is the most subjective connective, followed by “suoyi （所以）”, “yinci/yiner （因此/因而）”, “yushi （于是）” and “jieguo （结果）”. The subjectivity of each connective deeply influences one＇s cognition and grammatical well-formedness of sentences. Subsequently, we find the zero-form marker is used more frequently than explicit markers, and is often used in the “non-volitional relations”,“non-causal epistemic relations” and “speech-act relations”. Results of this research can benefit CSL teaching in explaining the register of causal connectives and differences in causal connectives.
