中文摘要
本論文針對中文條件句標記「要是」和「要不是」進行對比分析,從語法化、心理空間和後設言談等理論來探討兩者使用功能上的差異。研究語料包括報紙新聞及一般會話。
本文發現兩者皆經歷語法化,但兩者語法化的過程不同。不同於「要是」,「要不是」是從「若不是」演變而來。由於語法化現象的發展不同,兩者的主觀性和交互主觀性也有所不同,此差異不僅造成兩者在條件句上出現頻率不同,也影響兩者在反事實條件句上使用的不對稱。
語法化的差異也導致兩者在反事實條件句中心理空間建構的不同。假設連詞「要不是」的使用否定了既成事實,直接構建了一個抽象虛擬的心理空間,而「要是」條件句則運用了時間指示詞和動貌標記等來表達與事實相反的思維,依賴語境來建構反事實的心理空間。
本文也對「要是」和「要不是」做為後設言談標記做比較分析。依據關聯理論,兩者的功能可以大致歸為四類:連接轉折標記、補充說明標記、緩和語氣標記、態度情感標記。本文發現「要是」在兩種篇章(書面語和口語)中,具有語篇功能和人際功能,然而「要不是」較少出現在口語篇章中,其人際功能也不如「要是」強。
關鍵詞: 反事實條件句,語法化,心理空間,後設言論
ABSTRACT
This dissertation reports the uses of Chinese conditional markers yaoshi and yaobushi, elaborating on their subtle differences and their functional complexity in Chinese written and spoken discourse. The database contains two sets of data: the newspaper corpus and naturally occurring conversation. Their idiosyncrasies are discussed and accounted for from the perspectives of grammaticalization, mental spaces, and metadiscourse.
The result obtained in the present study suggests that both yaoshi and yaobushi have undergone grammaticalization, but they show difference in the process of grammaticalization. Their development follows the general principles of grammaticalization (Traugott 1988, 1989), evolving from a major category to a minor one, from a lexical form to a grammatical one. Because of grammaticalization, their referential function is weakening and their pragmatic function is strengthened. However, different from the reanalysis of yaoshi, i.e., from [yao + shi] to [yaoshi], yaobushi may evolve from [ruo + bushi]. Ruo was gradually replaced by yao in modern colloquial Chinese after the grammaticalization of yao with the function of conditional marker. Their difference in grammaticalization, different subjectivity and intersubjectivity included, influences their performance in discourse and leads to their asymmetrical use in conditionals.
Because of their difference in grammaticalization, different mental space set-ups are involved when yaoshi and yaobushi are used in counterfactual conditionals. The counterfactual reading in yaobushi-marked conditional is naturally derived. On the other hand, in counterfactuals without bushi, counterfactuality is not signaled by the conditional marker yaoshi but rather by combinations of markers, including (past) temporal reference words and the perfective aspect marker le. Inferences from the real world knowledge and the cognitive ability of human beings are drawn to construct the mental space blending in yaoshi-marked counterfactuals.
This study has also identified various discourse-pragmatic functions of metadiscourse markers yaoshi and yaobushi. Both yaoshi and yaobushi display a range of textual and interpersonal functions, including logical connectives, topicalizers, interpretive markers, hedges, and attitude markers. From the relevance-theoretical perspective, they serve as markers of transition, elaboration, mitigation, and emotion. The most common and general function they serve in both discourse types is to organize the discourse as a coherent and well-organized text. However, we note that yaoshi has a stronger tendency than yaobushi toward interpersonal reading. Yaoshi is used more often than yaobushi in that it is more (inter-)subjective, addressee-oriented, and interactive-based.
Key words: counterfactuality, grammaticalization, mental space, metadiscourse
