Abstract

In this paper I discuss the various functions of nominalization in Wutun, a mixed Sinitic language spoken by ca. 4000 people in Qinghai Province, Northwest China. Nominalization in Wutun is expressed by the multi-purpose marker -de (cognate to Standard Mandarin de 的), which functions on both the lexical and clausal levels. Lexical nominalization takes the verb as its domain to derive nouns or adjectives, while clausal nominalization takes the entire clause as its domain and allows the clause to be treated as a noun phrase. Clausal nominalization in Wutun is used to form nominal complement clauses, relative clauses and adverbial subordinate clauses. In addition, the multi-purpose marker -de in Wutun has functions that go beyond nominalization, including pronominal function, pre-nominal modification and stand-alone usage, which is related to aspect and emphasis and plays an important role in stance-taking.

吴屯的名词化

本文讨论了名词化在五屯语中的各种作用，五屯语是中国西北青海省约4000人使用的汉语混合语。吴屯的名词化是用多功能标记de（与普通话标准de同源）来表达的的), 它在词汇和从句两个层面上都起作用。词汇名词化以动词为域来派生名词或形容词，而从句名词化则以整个从句为域，并允许将从句视为名词短语。《吴屯》中的从句名词化主要用于构成名词补语从句、关系从句和状语从句。此外，《吴屯》中的多用途标记语具有超越名词化的功能，包括代词功能、名词前修饰和独立用法，这与方面和重点有关，在立场的形成中起着重要作用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages (JPCL) aims to provide a forum for the scholarly study of pidgins, creoles, and other contact language varieties, from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal places special emphasis on current research devoted to empirical description, theoretical issues, and the broader implications of the study of contact languages for theories of language acquisition and change, and for linguistic theory in general. The editors also encourage contributions that explore the application of linguistic research to language planning, education, and social reform, as well as studies that examine the role of contact languages in the social life and culture, including the literature, of their communities.
