“别管”的连词化及机制

Conjunctions of “Bie Guan” and Its Mechanism

“别管”最早是在明代出现,作为状中短语使用,表示“不要理会、不要过问”的意思。但是考察发现,状中短语“别管”是由“不要管”发展变化而来。到了清代,“别管”发展出连词的用法,相当于“无论”,引导无条件的条件复句。“别管”的连词化经历了三个阶段:来源,构式化阶段,连词化阶段。结构省缩、主观性增强、重新分析和使用频率是“别管”连词化的重要机制。

“Bie Guan” first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. It is used as a phrase in the petition, which means “ignore and don’t bother”. However, the investigation found that the phrase “Bie Guan” in the form developed from “Bu Yao Guan”. In the Qing Dynasty, “Bie Guan” developed the usage of conjunctions, which was equivalent to “regardless” and guided unconditional conditional complex sentences. The conjunctions of “Bie Guan” have gone through three stages: source, construction and conjunctions. The reduction of structure, the enhancement of subjectivity, re-analysis and frequency of use are the important mechanisms of “Bie Guan” conjunctions.
