Abstract

The present study explores the progressive constructions in different Balochi dialects from a diachronic and an areal linguistic point of view. Previous studies on different Balochi dialects (Buddruss 1988; Baranzehi 2003; Farrell 2003; Axenov 2006; Ahangar 2007; Jahani and Korn 2009; Nourzaei et al. 2015; Korn and Nourzaei 2019; Korn 2020, 2017a and 2017b) have described progressive constructions, but discussion from a diachronic and an areal linguistic point of view is largely lacking. I will argue that the diversity of progressive constructions in Balochi dialects is a result of language contact and diffusion rather than an internal historical development that can be explained in terms of grammaticalization. In addition, there is no trace of a morphological progressive construction in written samples of Balochi. The general imperfective marker =a= (verbal clitic) covers ongoing meaning. To the extent that this marker has lost its ongoing meaning and become a general indicative marker in the present domain, the language has filled the progressive gap with new constructions which are basically a result of language and dialect contact. The new progressive constructions are mainly periphrastic constructions that represent either direct or indirect code copying from dominant languages and other Balochi dialects.
从异时空和地域语言学角度看不同俾路支方言中的递进结构
本研究从异时空语言学的角度探讨了不同俾路支方言中的进行时结构。之前关于不同俾路支方言的研究(Buddruss 1988;Baranzehi 2003;Farrell 2003;Axenov 2006;Ahangar 2007;Jahani 和 Korn 2009;Nourzaei 等人,2015;Korn 和 Nourzaei 2019;Korn 2020、2017a 和 2017b)已经描述了递进结构,但大多缺乏从对时和区域语言学角度的讨论。我将论证,俾路支方言中递进结构的多样性是语言接触和传播的结果,而不是可以用语法化来解释的内部历史发展。此外,在俾路支语的书面样本中没有形态上的进行时结构的痕迹。一般非完成时标记 =a=(动词性附着语)包含持续的意义。由于该标记已失去其持续性意义,而成为目前领域中的一般指示标记,因此该语言用新的结构填补了级进结构的空白,这些新结构基本上是语言和方言接触的结果。新的进行时结构主要是会话结构,代表了从主流语言和其他俾路支方言中直接或间接复制的代码。
