Abstract

Previous studies using diachronic data from the Sejong Historical Corpus have traced the semantic extension of voice marker -eci from middle to passive uses (e.g. Ahn & Yap 2017). In this study, based on data from the Sejong Contemporary Spoken Corpus, we further examine the relationship between middle and passive uses of -eci constructions, with special attention to the neutralization of adversative readings that give rise to generalized (in addition to adversative) middle and passive -eci constructions. Our analysis reveals that judgments about adversative readings in Contemporary Korean are not emergent solely from the semantics of the verb or adjective preceding -eci but additionally are emergent and grounded in the interaction between discourse participants. The distributional characteristics of -eci also show a strong interaction between voice and tense-aspect-mood (TAM). There is also some interaction effects from register and text type/genre, particularly in the usage frequency distribution of spontaneous and passive -eci constructions. In addition, contrary to the traditional notion that -eci is essentially a passive marker, in real usage, -eci is still far more frequently used as a middle marker than a passive marker.

论中间句与被动句的关系

先前的研究使用了世宗历史语料库的历时数据，追踪了语音标记-eci从中间到被动用法的语义扩展(例如Ahn & Yap 2017)。在本研究中，基于来自世宗现代口语语料库的数据，我们进一步研究了-eci结构的中间和被动用法之间的关系，特别关注产生广义(除了对话性之外)中间和被动-eci结构的对话性阅读的中和。我们的分析表明，对当代韩国语中对抗性阅读的判断并不仅仅来自于-eci前面的动词或形容词的语义，而且是基于话语参与者之间的互动而产生的。-eci的分布特征还显示了语态与时态-时态-语气之间的强烈相互作用。语域和文本类型/体裁也有一定的交互作用，特别是在自发结构和被动结构的使用频率分布上。此外，与-eci本质上是被动标记的传统观念相反，在实际使用中，-eci仍然更多地用作中间标记而不是被动标记。

期刊介绍： LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS (ISSN:1606-822X; Online ISSN: 2309-5067) is an academic publication of the Institute of Linguistics at Academia Sinica. Established in 2000, it publishes research in general and theoretical linguistics on the languages of East Asia and the Pacific region, including Sino-Tibetan, Austronesian, and the Austroasiatic and Altaic language families (Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages are not included). LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS publishes both a journal and a monograph series. LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS is a pure linguistics journal. We only publish articles on (descriptive and theoretical) linguistic studies but not articles on applied linguistics such as language teaching or language learning.
