山苏彝语通用量词ma^(44)的多功能性

Polyfunctionality of the General Classifier ma^(44) in Shansu Yi

本文着重对彝语南部方言山苏彝语的通用量词ma^(44)进行系统描写,从历时视角分析其语法化路径。ma^(44)在基本计量功能的基础上,发展出了数量转指、指量转指、定指性转指等功能,进一步语法化为词汇名物化标记、关系子句标记、补足语子句标记、状语从句标记,呈现多功能性特征。

Shansu Yi belongs to the southern dialect of the Yi language.This paper focuses on the systematic description of the general classifier ma in Shansu Yi,and analyzes its grammaticalization path from the diachronic perspective.Based on its basic metrological functions,ma^(44) has developed functions of numeral-classifier transferred-reference,demonstrative-classifier transferred-reference and definiteness transferred-reference,and further grammaticalized to nominalization marker,relative clause marker,complement clause marker,and adverbial clause marker,showing the characteristics of polyfunctionality.
