摘要

真理标记通常演变成强化物(Heine & Kuteva 2002)，但我们在这里认为这种转变只是间接的，在真理标记和强化之间必然存在一个反放松阶段。反松散者指示收件人避免(或者更确切地说，限制)非常自然的扩展解释过程，在这个过程中，说话者意图的概念将被视为对修改后的表达的意义的松散的，“或多或少”的解释(Carston 2002)。我们提供了希伯来语mamash ' really '的历时分析，这支持了我们的观点，我们重新解释了其他真理标记的历时分析，以表明它们在转向强化之前也经历了一个反放松阶段。最后，我们简要区分了反放松介导的强化因子进化(用于真值标记、特殊因子和最大化因子)和最初升级表达式(极端标量修饰因子和增强因子)的直接强化进化路径。

The missing link between truth and intensification

Truth markers commonly evolve into intensifiers (Heine & Kuteva 2002), but we here argue that this shift is only indirect, and a counter-loosening phase necessarily mediates between truth marking and intensification. Counter-looseners instruct the addressee to avoid (or rather, constrain) the very natural interpretative process of broadening, whereby the speaker-intended concept would have been taken as a loosened, “more or less” interpretation of the meaning of the modified expression (Carston 2002). We provide a diachronic analysis for Hebrew mamash ‘really’, which supports our point, and we reinterpret diachronic analyses of other truth markers in order to show that they too underwent a counter-loosening phase before turning intensifiers. Finally, we briefly distinguish between a counter-loosening mediated intensifier evolution (for truth markers, particularizers and maximizers) and a direct evolutionary path into intensification for originally upscaling expressions (extreme scalar modifiers and augmenters).

期刊介绍： Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
