名词“真心”虚化为副词考察

The Bleaching of Nominal “Zhen Xin”(真心)into an Adverb

本文以＂真心＂为例探讨了名词虚化为副词的一种路径。文章认为：＂真心＂自清代以来,＂名词作状语＂用法的增多为其虚化提供了条件,但＂真心＂作状语时可作＂真的＂义解的＂高临界频率＂是它虚化为副词的动因,并进而演化出＂确认义语气副词＂＂程度副词＂和＂强调义语气副词＂三种用法;＂真心＂虚化的机制是＂语义泛化＂＂认知推理＂和＂主观化＂。

This paper takes Zhenxin（ 真心） as an example to discuss a particular path for nouns bleaching into adverbs. We argue that the frequent use of Zhenxin as an adverb from Qing Dynasty provides the condition for its bleaching.But the real motivation is the critical high frequency used with the meaning of Zhende（ 真的） when used as an adverb. Zhenxin develops three meanings in the network community languages： truth attesting modal adverbs,degree adverbs and emphasizing modal adverbs. The mechanism of Zhenxin＇s bleaching is semantic generalization,cognitive reasoning and subjectivisation.
