责任型情态研究对语义与语法的扩展作用

The Extension of Semantics and Grammar of Responsibility-based Modality

语言学研究中情态的两大分类为认知情态和道义情态。道义情态的分支之一责任型情态强调的是说话人根据客观需要或者责任而做出的一定要做的决断,其表达形式包括情态动词(及其否定式)、情态形容词/副词以及具有表达"责任"含义的实意动词等。通过举例分析,认为责任型情态研究能够突破传统语义、语法和认知型情态研究的范畴,从道义责任的角度扩展语篇中语义和语法的意义和内涵,提高人们对语言人际意义的认知能力。

The two major categories of modality in linguistic studies are cognitive modality and moral modality. One of the branches of moral modality is responsibility-based modality, which emphasizes the determinants of the speaker's making decisions according to objective needs or responsibilities. The form of expression includes modal verbs(and their negatives), modal adjectives /adverbs, and verbs meaning'responsibility'. Through the analysis of examples, it is considered that responsibility-based modality can break through the categories of traditional semantics, grammar and cognitive modality, expand the meaning and connotation of semantics and grammar in discourse from the angle of moral responsibility, and raise people's cognition of language interpersonal meaning ability.
