摘要

本文对广东话动词性助词“maai”的语法化进行了探讨。1“maai”原本是一个表示“接近”或“接近”的运动动词，经过语法化，成为一个表示“走向”的方向助词。然后它发展成为一个附加量词，意思是“也/同样”，并进一步被重新解释为一个评价标记，标志着说话人对动词宾语的否定评价，maai是动词的后缀。maai的语法化过程涉及许多语用过程，特别是语用推理和主体化。进化路径“加法”b>“主观评价”得到了历史数据的证实，也得到了跨语言证据的支持。

INCLUSION OF THE OUTSIDER - GRAMMATICALIZATION OF THE VERBAL PARTICLE MAAI IN CANTONESE

This paper explores the grammaticalization of the verbal particle maai in Cantonese. 1 Originally a verb of movement meaning ‘approach/get close to’ a reference point, maai has undergone grammaticalization to become a directional particle meaning ‘towards’. It then developed into an additive quantifier meaning ‘also/as well’, and has further been reinterpreted as an evaluative marker, marking the speaker’s negative evaluation of the object of the verb to which maai is suffixed. A number of pragmatic processes are involved in maai’s grammaticalization, in particular pragmatic inferencing and subjectification. The evolutionary pathway ‘addition’ > ‘subjective evaluation’ is attested by historical data and is also supported by cross-linguistic evidence.

期刊介绍： Taiwan Journal of Linguistics is an international journal dedicated to the publication of research papers in linguistics and welcomes contributions in all areas of the scientific study of language. Contributions may be submitted from all countries and are accepted all year round. The language of publication is English. There are no restrictions on regular submission; however, manuscripts simultaneously submitted to other publications cannot be accepted. TJL adheres to a strict standard of double-blind reviews to minimize biases that might be caused by knowledge of the author’s gender, culture, or standing within the professional community. Once a manuscript is determined as potentially suitable for the journal after an initial screening by the editor, all information that may identify the author is removed, and copies are sent to at least two qualified reviewers. The selection of reviewers is based purely on professional considerations and their identity will be kept strictly confidential by TJL. All feedback from the reviewers, except such comments as may be specifically referred to the attention of the editor, is faithfully relayed to the authors to assist them in improving their work, regardless of whether the paper is to be accepted, accepted upon minor revision, revised and resubmitted, or rejected.
