反问小句的话语标记化研究--以“你说呢”为例

Discourse Markedness of Rhetorical Clauses--Taking“Ni Shuo Ne”as an Example

话语标记“你说呢”由反问小句演变而来,它做答句且不需要回答,疑问功能大大弱化,不影响语义真值性。话语标记“你说呢”只出现在答句中,包括独立充当答句、答句之首、答句末尾三种分布情况。由于位置分布的不同,其话语功能也有观点确认和观点强调两种情况。共时层面的客观询问、主观反问以及话语标记的用法也是其不断演变的三个阶段。

Discourse marker"Ni Shuo Ne(你说呢)"is evolved from rhetorical question clause.It is used as an answer sentence and does not need to answer.The interrogative function is greatly weakened and does not affect the semantic truth.The discourse marker"Ni Shuo Ne"only appears in the answer sentence,including three kinds of distribution:acting independently as the answer sentence,the first part of the answer sentence and the last part of the answer sentence.Due to the different position distribution,its discourse function can be divided into two situations:opinion confirmation and opinion emphasis.The synchronic level of objective inquiry,subjective rhetorical question and the use of discourse markers are also three stages of its continuous evolution.
