Abstract

Zai wu-li (literally “in the house”) in Xiang dialect can be used to denote the progressiveness of an act in a particular time point, and the continuity or habituality of an act in a period of time, and can co-occur with adjectives to indicate a certain state. It displays a feature of low focality. Competing with zai zhe-er/na-er (meaning here/there), zai wu-li has undergone a dynamic evolution of “high focality>low focality> non-focality”, and its low focality contrasts with the high focality displayed by zai zhe-er/na-er in Xiang dialect within the imperfective system. The grammaticalization of zai wu-li is largely driven by prototype model, while mechanisms like metaphor, analogy and reanalysis also play a role. The grammaticalization process is accompanied by the enhancement of subjectivity.
湘话不完全标记词“再无里”的重音性及其语法化
湘方言中的载物里(字面意思是“在家里”)可以用来表示一个行为在某个特定时间点的进行性,以及行为在一段时间内的连续性或习惯性,并可以与形容词连用来表示某种状态。它显示出低聚焦的特征。与“在这里/那里”竞争,“在五里”经历了“高焦度>低焦度>非焦度”的动态演变,其低焦度与“在不完善的体系中”在湘方言中表现出的高焦度形成鲜明对比。《在物理》的语法化在很大程度上是由原型模式驱动的,隐喻、类比和再分析等机制也起到了一定的作用。语法化过程伴随着主体性的增强。
