让步条件标记“就”的语法化及动因——兼论话题标记“就”的两种语法化模式

Grammaticalization of the Concessive Conditional Marker“Jiù(就)”and its Motivation:Also on the Two Pathways of Grammaticalization of the Topic Marker“Jiù(就)”

“就”从空间位移动词语法化为让步条件标记经历了三个阶段:第一个阶段是“就”从空间位移动词语法化为顺承连词,其中“就”概念语义的空间隐喻投射起了关键作用;第二阶段是“就”从标记顺承关系衍生出标记条件关系的语法功能,其中“就”标记话题的语用功能动因起到了重要作用;第三个阶段是“就”从标记条件关系演变为标记让步条件关系,其中强调极端条件情景的语境义吸收起到了至关重要的作用;此外,论文还讨论了作为话题标记的“就”的两种语法化演变模式。

The grammaticalization of“jiù(就)”has undergone three stages from a motion verb to a concessive conditional marker.The first stage is the grammaticalization of“jiù(就)”from a motion verb to a sequence marker,motivated by Space Metaphor of conceptual meaning.The second stage is the grammaticalization of“jiù(就)”from a sequence marker to a conditional marker,motivated by its pragmatic function of marking topic.The third stage is the grammaticalization of“jiù(就)”from a conditional marker to a concessive conditional marker,motivated by the absorption of its contextual meaning of emphasizing extreme conditionals.This paper also discusses the pathways of grammaticalization of the topic marker“jiù(就)”.
