《高僧传》语气副词研究

The Research of Modal Adverbs in Gao SengZhuan(高僧传)

佛教典籍在汉语史及古代汉语研究中具有相当独特而重要的地位。梁代释慧皎撰写的《高僧传》是目前保存下来的最早的一部传记体例的中土佛教文献,大致反映了魏晋南北朝时期的语言风格,具有较高的语言研究价值。语气副词作为副词中一个比较特殊的类型,在语法、语用功能上与其他类型副词有很大不同。主要从语法功能、结构形式以及语用功能的角度对《高僧传》中的语气副词进行分类研究,发现《高僧传》中的语气副词十分丰富,除了继承上古已有的语气副词之外,还出现了大量新兴的双音节语气副词与副词词缀,整体上带有明显的过渡性和渐变性特点。
