Abstract

Abstract This investigation offers an analysis of crosslinguistic variation in the expression of clausal negative concomitance (e.g. ‘he slept without using a pillow’) in a sample of 65 languages, showing that most languages in the sample tend to use conjunctions and converbs for indicating clausal negative concomitance. The discussion of clause-linkage patterns reveals that most languages have monofunctional devices for signaling clausal negative concomitance. Intriguingly, even when languages employ a clause-linking device for conveying clausal negative concomitance, negative markers may play an important role in that they may be obligatory, optional, or disallowed in the ‘without V-ing’ clause. It is proposed that whether the clause-linking device is semantically monofunctional or polyfunctional is the key to this puzzle. The paper also shows that most languages in the sample tend to signal clausal negative concomitance and nominal negative concomitance (e.g. ‘you took a basket without holes’) in the same way. This indicates a diachronic connection between these constructions.
“无V-ing”从句:类型学视角下的从句否定共形
摘要本研究分析了65种语言中小句否定共词(如“他睡觉时没有使用枕头”)的跨语言表达差异,结果表明,大多数语言倾向于使用连词和转换词来表示小句否定共词。对从句连接模式的讨论表明,大多数语言都有单功能的装置来表示从句的否定伴随。有趣的是,即使语言使用了从句连接手段来表达从句的否定伴随,否定标记也可能发挥重要作用,因为它们可能是强制性的,可选的,或者在“没有V-ing”的从句中是不允许的。本文认为,小句连接装置在语义上是单功能的还是多功能的是解决这一难题的关键。该论文还表明,样本中的大多数语言倾向于以同样的方式表示小句否定伴随和名义否定伴随(例如,“你拿了一个没有洞的篮子”)。这表明了这些结构之间的历时性联系。

期刊介绍: Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
