“这么的”“那么的”不对称研究

Study on the Asymmetry of“Zhemede(这么的)”and“Namede(那么的)”

“这么的”“那么的”都具有指示和称代功能。在句法功能、篇章指代功能以及距离指代上具有不对称性。从历时语料看,“这么/那么的”在发展过程中,出现了与之同中有异的“这么/那么地”,这可能与虚词“的”和“地”的发展有关。“那么的”出现频率高于“这么的”很可能是由于二者语义的差异与适用语体的不同。

“Zhemede(这么的)”and“namede(那么的)”both have the function of indication and substitution.There is asymmetry in syntactic function,discourse reference function and distance reference.From the diachronic corpus,“zheme/namede(这么/那么的)”appeared in the process of its development,with the same but different“zheme/named(这么/那么地)”,which may be related to the development of the function word“de(的)”and“de(地)”.The frequency of“namede(那么的)”is higher than“zhemede(这么的)”probably due to the difference of semantics and applicable style.
