“简直是”负面评价的规约化

On Conventionalization of the Negative Evaluation of“简直是”

“简直是”规约化的过程是“是”从判断动词到附缀再到词缀逐渐语法化的过程。话语标记“简直是”体现了人际互动中的交互主观性,负面话语环境的浸染是其表达负面评价的主要原因。它与“简直了”区别在于“简直了”表达正面评价较多,且“简直了”的形成受到“语气副词+语气词”类推作用的影响。

The conventionalization process of“简直是”is shown by the gradual grammar development of“是”,which changes from a judging verb to an affiliated affixe and then to an lexical affixe.The discourse marker“简直是”reflects the subjectivity of interpersonal interaction.The negative discourse environment is the main reason for its negative evaluation.It differs from“简直了”in that“简直了”expresses more positive comments,and the formation of“简直是”is influenced by the analogy of“modal adverb+modal particle”.
