摘要

Grammatical properties of the Cantonese particle [lei21], which literally means ‘to come’, are discussed in this paper, focusing on its focus usage (known as lei 1 ) and its imperative usage (known as lei 2 ). It is observed that lei 1 co-occurs with a predicate nominal which conveys new information. The function of lei 2 is to mark the degree of the resultant state of a continuous activity expressed by the predicate. It is shown that different kinds of [lei21] are in complementary distribution, each of which plays a unique role in Cantonese grammar.本文讨论了粤语助词“嚟”的语法特点，尤其是集中讨论用于判断句的“嚟1”和用于祈使句的“嚟2”。“嚟1”跟名词谓语连用，用来引介表示新信息的名词谓语。“嚟2”对谓语有一定的要求和限制，作用就是说明谓语要达到持续状态的结果，并强调持续状态的程度。本文最后说明粤语的几个“嚟”在语法上呈现互补现象，各自扮演不同的角色。(This article is in Chinese.)

Grammatical Properties of [lei 21 ] in Cantonese: Revisited (再論粵語“嚟”的語法特點)

Grammatical properties of the Cantonese particle [lei21], which literally means ‘to come’, are discussed in this paper, focusing on its focus usage (known as lei 1 ) and its imperative usage (known as lei 2 ). It is observed that lei 1 co-occurs with a predicate nominal which conveys new information. The function of lei 2 is to mark the degree of the resultant state of a continuous activity expressed by the predicate. It is shown that different kinds of [lei21] are in complementary distribution, each of which plays a unique role in Cantonese grammar.本文討論了粵語助詞“嚟”的語法特點，尤其是集中討論用於判斷句的“嚟1”和用於祈使句的“嚟2”。“嚟1”跟名詞謂語連用，用來引介表示新信息的名詞謂語。“嚟2”對謂語有一定的要求和限制，作用就是說明謂語要達到持續狀態的結果，並強調持續狀態的程度。本文最後說明粵語的幾個“嚟”在語法上呈現互補現象，各自扮演不同的角色。(This article is in Chinese.)
