摘要

新加坡英语(SgE)是一个独特的研究对象,在多语言环境中口语,其特点是与其他语言持续接触。与核心圈子的变体相比,它的语气系统也以独立的方式发展,例如它的历史祖先英国英语。不同的方法试图解释这种发展,包括亚语法主义和语法化方法。本文探讨了这两种方法,目的是考察它们在SgE中必要(半)语气动词发展中可能发挥的作用。使用对非正式数据进行的一些语料库分析,将表明为什么亚分类法似乎不足以解释SgE中必须的相对频繁的非认知用法。根据一个被称为复制语法化即重述的过程(Ziegeler 2014),将讨论SgE必须如何复制中世纪英语时代(公元前1100–1500年)典型的旧的动态用法。

Necessity modal development in Singapore English
Spoken in a multilingual environment characterised by continuous contacts with other languages, Singapore English (SgE) is a singular object of study. Its modal system has also been developing in independent ways compared to inner-circle varieties, e.g. British English, its historical ancestor. Different approaches have attempted to explain such developments, including the substratist and the grammaticalisation approaches. The present paper explores both these approaches with the aim of examining the role that they may have in the development of the (semi-)modal verbs of necessity in SgE. Using some corpus analysis conducted on informal data, it will be shown why the substratist approach does not seem sufficient to explain the relatively frequent non-epistemic uses of must in SgE. It will be discussed how SgE must could be instead replicating older dynamic uses, typical of Middle English times (1100–1500 CE), according to a process known as replica grammaticalisation as recapitulation (Ziegeler 2014).

期刊介绍: English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
