Abstract

Abstract This paper analyzes subordinate clauses which have gained both syntactic and discursive independence through insubordination, the diachronic conventionalization of main clause usage. First, I introduce the notion of insubordination and discuss its application to a corpus language such as Latin from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. Second, cases of insubordination from Archaic and Classical Latin are critically evaluated on the basis of evidence from different grammars and corpus research, yielding insubordinate directives (commands and requests with ut(ei) + subjunctive), insubordinate wishes (with ut, utinam and si + subjunctive) and assertives (with quasi + subjunctive). Special attention is paid to the pragmatic and syntactic characteristics of these insubordinate constructions such as (i) syntactic versus pragmatic independence from the linguistic common ground, (ii) main clause syntactic complexity, and (iii) the role of discourse particles of adversativity (at, sed) and positive polarity (quidem).
古拉丁语和古典拉丁语中的不服从:命令、请求、愿望和断言
摘要:本文分析了通过主句使用的历时规格化,即不服从而获得句法独立性和语篇独立性的从句。首先,我介绍了不服从的概念,并从共时和历时的角度讨论了它在语料库语言(如拉丁语)中的应用。其次,根据不同语法和语料库研究的证据,对古拉丁语和古典拉丁语中的不服从情况进行了批判性评估,产生了不服从的指示(带有ut(ei) +虚拟语气的命令和请求),不服从的愿望(带有ut, utinam和si +虚拟语气)和断言(带有准+虚拟语气)。特别关注这些非从属结构的语用和句法特征,如(i)句法与语用独立于语言共同点,(ii)主句句法复杂性,以及(iii)对抗性(at, sed)和积极极性(quidem)的语篇小品的作用。
