Abstract

This paper examines the development of the periphrastic passive voice construction in Swedish between 1300 and 1750, from the point of view of constructional change. The development involves the rise of a new auxiliary, bliva ‘remain’, originally a lexical loan from Middle Low German, which after a period of variation replaces the older auxiliary varda ‘become’. The findings reveal that the origins of the periphrastic passive construction may be found in mutative constructions with varda and adjectival complements, and the same development is then found with the loanword bliva, delayed by some hundred years. The results of quantitative analysis place the turning point in the development between 1450 and 1550. The paper relates the variation and change in passive auxiliaries to Diachronic Construction Grammar.

瑞典语会意被动语的变异和变化：一种构词方法

本文从构式变化的角度研究了 1300 年至 1750 年间瑞典语被动语态构式的发展。这一发展涉及到一个新助词的兴起，即 bliva "保持"，它最初是从中低级德语借来的词汇，经过一段时间的变化后取代了旧助词 varda "成为"。研究结果表明，会话被动结构的起源可以在带有 varda 和形容词补语的变格结构中找到，然后在借来的 bliva 中也发现了同样的发展，但时间推迟了约一百年。定量分析的结果将这一发展的转折点定在 1450-1550 年之间。本文将被动助词的变化和变迁与异时构式语法联系起来。
