摘要

摘要本研究调查了对TAM和极性值的关注，在文献中被称为算子（Dik 1989，Watters 2010）或辅助关注（Hyman&Watters 1984），如何在Mande语Kakabe的自然语音中表现出来。我证明，在Kakabe中证明的两个完成助词之间的对立最好从算子焦点的角度来分析，因此首次将这一概念推广到Mande语言。本研究分析了自然言语中算子对完成词的关注。它导致了与集中完成词描述相关的新语境的发现，例如表演性言语行为和带有心理状态谓词的话语。最后，我提出了一种新的方法来处理叙事中屈折标记的分布，基于对由一个正在讨论的首要问题构成的故事主线的描述。

Operator focus in discourse and grammar: The two perfectives in Kakabe

Abstract This study investigates how focus on a TAM and polarity value, known in the literature as operator (Dik 1989, Watters 2010) or auxiliary focus (Hyman & Watters 1984), is manifested in natural speech in Kakabe, a Mande language. I show that the opposition between the two perfective auxiliaries attested in Kakabe is best analyzed in terms of operator focus and therefore extend this notion to Mande languages for the first time. This study analyzes operator focus on the perfective in natural speech. It leads to the discovery of new contexts relevant for the description of focused perfectives, such as performative speech acts and utterances with mental state predicates. Finally, I propose a new approach to the distribution of inflectional markers in narratives, based on an account of the main story line as structured by one overarching Question under Discussion.
