形态的意义与表达方式--评江荻的《藏语词法和形态》

Morphological Meanings and Language Forms:A Review on Jiang(2021)

在宏观的形态学视野下,《藏语词法和形态》以词法表现形式为切入点,探讨词法和词库、词类和词法的种种关联,揭示了藏语派生、屈折、重叠、复合等词法面貌。该书认为复合是藏语的重要构词方式,内部形类语素间蕴含施事、受事、工具等语义关系,并将词长视为形态表现;所提“音节数形态”“词形分类、词类分形”等论断均体现出藏语形态表达方式的多样性,丰富了形态学的一般理论。本文尝试概述该书的主要观点,并评析一些论述的优长及其对跨语言形态研究的启示。
