Abstract

This article discusses the semantic and syntactic properties of converb markers =Shi, =Zhe, and =Tala in Sinitic varieties in the Qīnghǎi-Gānsù Linguistic Area (qgla), and defines them as converb enclitics rather than conjunctions, modal particles, or other functional words. =Shi is a conditional converb enclitic while =Tala is a terminative converb enclitic; both enclitics derive their respective properties from Altaic languages. The enclitic =Zhe expresses the coordinative and narrative functions, derived from its Altaic source, and the conjunctional function, which is an innovation. The productive use of the converbs coincides with the sharp decline of serial verbs in Sinitic varieties in qgla, and such a phenomenon emerges through intense contact among the Altaic, Sinitic and Tibetan languages in the area.

Qīnghǎi‑Gānsù语区汉语变体的转换

本文讨论了Qīnghǎi-Gānsù语区(qgla)汉语变体中转换标记=Shi、=Zhe和=Tala的语义和句法特性，并将其定义为转换修饰词，而不是连词、情态助词或其他虚词。=Shi是条件隐隐曲线，=Tala是终止隐隐曲线;这两种语言都从阿尔泰语系语言中获得了各自的特性。隐曲=着表达了其阿尔泰起源的协调和叙事功能，以及连接功能，这是一种创新。倒转词的大量使用与青海汉语系列动词的急剧减少相吻合，这种现象是由于该地区阿尔泰语、汉语和藏语的密切接触而产生的。

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.
