Abstract

Abstract The Early Modern Dutch writer D. V. Coornhert (1522–1590) was an influential figure in the key religious and linguistic developments of his times. Bringing together these two facets and combining both a linguistic (pragmatics/discourse studies and semantics) and a literary studies (rhetoric) approach, this intra-author variation study examines Coornhert’s use of have -doubling constructions (e.g., have had written ) alongside simple perfects (e.g., have written ). At the macro-level, we show that have -doubling was restricted to Coornhert’s argumentative and predominantly moral – theological prose. At the micro-level, we then firstly link Coornhert’s have -doubling to the well-studied double perfect of modern German which has been proposed to signal the absence of current relevance and have emphasis functions. Secondly, connecting these observations with the pragmatics of verb – tense variation, this article proposes that have -doubling parallels the historical present in functioning as a stance marker/evaluative device in Coornhert’s moral – theological prose.
d.v.c ornhert作品中完美加倍的语用和修辞功能
荷兰近代早期作家d·v·科恩赫特(D. V. Coornhert, 1522-1590)是他那个时代宗教和语言发展的重要人物。将这两个方面结合起来,结合语言学(语用学/话语研究和语义学)和文学研究(修辞学)方法,这项作者内部变异研究考察了Coornhert对have - double结构(例如,have had written)和简单完成式(例如,have written)的使用。在宏观层面上,我们表明,翻倍仅限于科恩哈特的论辩和主要的道德神学散文。在微观层面上,我们首先将Coornhert的have - double与现代德语的双重完成语联系起来,后者被认为是缺乏当前相关性的信号,并具有强调功能。其次,本文将这些观察结果与动词时态变化的语用学联系起来,提出在科恩哈特的道德神学散文中,“有加倍”平行体作为立场标记/评价手段的作用与历史现在时有关。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Historical Pragmatics provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization. Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach.
