摘要:本文以汉语方言中"时"类条件标记为例,讨论了源于时间词的条件标记的分布、句法和源流问题。这类条件标记是由提示两个分句时间顺序的"时"语法化而来。句法操作手段为添加,一般位于条件分句句尾这个边缘位置,符合"联系项居中原则"。从语言类型学视角看,时间词虚化为条件标记是人类语言的一条普遍规律,蕴含共性为:假如条件复句中的关系标记来源于时间词,那么此条件标记位于条件分句的边缘位置。
This paper taking temporal conditional marker ".shi"as an example,explores the distribution syntactic operation and grammaticalization of temporal conditional marker ".shi" exists in severalChinese dialects. Originated from modern
Chinese temporal word "shi" meaning sequence,it is generally used at the end of the protasis which accords with the relator principl,and its syntactic operation is adjoining. It is a universal principle that temporal wrods are used as correlatives from the perspective of typology. The implicational universal is: if the conditional marker is grammaticalized from temporal word, it is in the periphery of protasis.
