摘要

摘要本文考察了在dōu也可以使用的上下文中,例如在无事甚至上下文中,普通话yŞ“also”的使用。我认为,使用yĕ的可能性与标量读数的存在以及对所讨论量表上极值的引用之间存在相关性。我们提供的数据表明,yŞ总是与标量读数联系在一起:yŞ始终用于标量上下文,而当使用yŞ时,不明显是标量的上下文变得如此。我还认为,在任何上下文中,对wh元素的标量解释都可以借助否定或情态来推导,从而解释y在这种上下文中的恰当性。文章最后对lián做了一个简短的注释,假设它的功能是引入尺度的极值。我还认为,添加剂/基本y的许可条件,即背景中存在替代品,也在y的标量使用中发挥作用。

Mandarin Yě and Scalarity
Abstract This paper examines the use of Mandarin yě ‘also’ in contexts which dōu can be used as well, e.g., in no matter and even contexts. I argue that there is a correlation between the possibility of using yĕ and the presence of a scalar reading as well as a reference to an extremity on the scale in question. The data we present show that yě is invariably associated with scalar readings: yě is always used in scalar contexts, and contexts that are not obviously scalar become so when yě is used. I also argue that a scalar interpretation of wh-elements in no matter contexts can be derived with the aid of negation or modals, thus accounting for the felicitousness of yě in such contexts. The paper ends with a short note on lián, hypothesizing that its function is to introduce the extreme of the scale. I also argue that the licensing condition of the additive/basic yě, i.e., the presence of alternatives in the background, also plays a role in the scalar use of yě.

期刊介绍: STUDIES IN CHINESE LINGUISTICS is an international academic journal devoted to comparative study of Chinese language and linguistics and a platform for research of comparative linguistics and dialectal grammar under a comparative approach. We especially welcome synchronic or diachronic comparative works on any aspects of the syntax, semantics, and morphology among Chinese dialects or between a Chinese language/dialect and any languages that contribute to theoretical linguistics or have significant theoretical implications. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges.
