从连接到填充:“就是”话语功能的演变——兼论话语标记的分类

From Connector to Filler:the Evolution of the Discourse Function of"Jiu Shi"

在汉语口语中,“就是”经历了从连接到填充的功能转变,究其本质在于“就是”标记焦点信息的语义特征。填充类话语标记“就是”的核心功能是标记言语延迟发生,进行话语搜索与激活,此种功能区别于以语篇连贯为目的的话语标记,因为话语标记应分为连接类话语标记及填充类话语标记两种类型。

The function of"jiu shi"in modern spoken Chinese has experienced a transformation from connector to filler,and its essence lies in the semantic features of"jiu shi"as a focus information marker.As a filler class discourse marker,the core function of"jiu shi"is to mark the delayed start of discourse,and to search and activate discourse,which is different from discourse markers for the purpose of discourse coherence.Therefore,discourse markers should be divided into two types:connector class discourse markers and filler class discourse markers.
