湖南平江赣语中的“落”字被动句

On the Passive Constructions with“Luo”as the Agent Marker in Pingjiang Gan(Hunan)

文章主要介绍平江赣语中一种以“落”为施事标记的特殊被动句。考察发现,动词“落”作为被动施事标记的来源还未纳入现有汉语方言被动施事标记的类型学研究中(Chappell 2015)。同时,“落”字被动句也不能归入现有分类的任何一类。一方面,文章将扩充现有汉语方言被动施事标记的分类;另一方面,文章尝试从隐喻化的角度解释动词“落”语法化为被动施事标记的动因。

This paper aims to present the passive constructions with“luo”(落)as the agent marker in the Pingjiang dialect,a Gan variety spoken in northwest Hunan province.It is observed that“luo”is different from the three major types of passive agent markers in Sinitic languages(Chappell 2015)and forms a new type that has not yet been included in the present typological studies on the passives.Therefore,on the one hand,this paper will enlarge Chappell’s typology of agent makers in Sinitic passives;on the other hand,this paper will make an attempt to explain the motivation of grammaticalization of“luo”.
