从互动看“这/那种”的功能

On the Function of “zhè/nzhǒng” from the Perspective of Interaction

现代汉语中'这/那种'句法分布产生了三个层次上的变化,第一是'这/那种'的修饰对象从名词性成分扩展到动词形容词性成分,第二是从前置到后附,'这/那种'后附于名词性和动词性成分,第三是一些偶发性的超常规用法,属口语化现象。句法分布的变化带来语用功能的增强。'这/那种'的语用功能主要是建立基于听说双方共享知识设别指称对象的互动,'这/那种'的互动功能使话语呈现出对话性特点。

In modern Chinese,the syntactic distribution of■,a rough counterpart of'this/that kind of'in English,change on three levels.First,the construction expands its modified object from nominal elements to verbs and adjectives;second,the construction first precedes its modified object and then can also occur after its modified object;third,the construction also has some extraordinary colloquial usage.The change of the construction’s syntactic distribution leads to the enhancement of its pragmatic function.The pragmatic function of the construction is mainly to establish the interaction between hearing and speaking parties for identifying the referent based on the sharing of knowledge.The interactive function of the construction marks the discourse characteristics of a dialogue.
