Abstract

This paper highlights a difference in the ‘language’ Hindi-Urdu spoken between the areas of Lucknow and New Delhi within India and the Urdu spoken in Lahore in Pakistan. It shows that the claim made in the available literature about the possibility of partially reduplicating or echo-reduplicating the light verb (also called the vector verb) in the compound verb (CV) sequences which have a V(erb)1 + V(erb)2 structure cannot stand a serious scrutiny given that it is not possible for speakers of Hindi-Urdu in regions between Lucknow and Delhi echo-reduplicate the light verb in compound verbs. It is suggested that this difference either does not exist or is anchored in the geographical separation of languages which needs far more serious attention and research than has been given for it has serious implications for issues of what counts as a light verb or an auxiliary in languages in general.

印地语-乌尔都语的回声重复、轻动词和复合动词:异同点

这篇论文强调了印度勒克瑙和新德里地区与巴基斯坦拉合尔地区所说的乌尔都语之间的“语言”的差异。这表明，在现有文献中提出的关于复合动词(CV)序列中具有V(erb)1 + V(erb)2结构的轻动词(也称为矢量动词)部分重复或回声重复的可能性的主张不能经不起认真的审查，因为在勒克瑙和德里之间地区的印地语-乌尔都语使用者不可能在复合动词中回声重复轻动词。有人认为，这种差异要么不存在，要么植根于语言的地理分离，这需要比以往更加认真的关注和研究，因为它对一般语言中什么是轻动词或助动词的问题有严重的影响。
