让步连词“哪怕”的词汇化讨论及相关问题研究

Discussion on the Lexicalization and Related Issues of the Concessive Conjunction"Nǎpà"

虽然语言学领域关于让步连词的研究已经有了一些成果,但是都围绕着让步连词“即使”“就是”等比较典型的词开展研究,而对“哪怕”的研究并不多。首先从历时角度梳理了“哪怕”“非句法结构—非句法结构与连词并存—连词”这一语义演变的过程及特点,这个过程就是“哪怕”单位逐渐凝固、词义逐渐虚化的过程。其次详细分析了“哪怕”演变的动因和机制,包括双音化韵律特征及高频使用、句法环境及变化、副词“哪”及动词“怕”的非范畴化等动因,以及重新分析、语境吸收与语用推理等机制。除此之外,“哪怕”的演变过程也是其主观性程度不断增强的过程,因此从说话人的主观让步、说话人对“哪怕”引导的命题的量级认知方面探讨了其主观性与主观化表现。

ion of its meaning.The paper then delves into the motivations and mechanisms behind the evolution of"nǎpà",including factors such as disyllabic rhythmic features and high frequency of use,syntactic environments and changes,the decategorization of the adverb"nǎ"and the verb"pà",as well as mechanisms like reanalysis,metaphor,context absorption,and pragmatic inference.Additionally,the evolution of"nǎpà"is also a process of increasing subjectivity.Therefore,the author explores its subjectivity and subjectification from the perspectives of the speaker's concessive stance and the speaker's scalar cognition of the proposition introduced by"nǎpà".
