摘要

Van der Auwera & Vossen(2017)在西藏-缅甸基兰蒂群体中发现了一个有趣的从copula到负面标记的转变，并将其作为Jespersen周期的一个可能的例子进行了讨论。本文追溯了连字#ni的更完整的历史，并介绍了它与否定的联系，这在除基兰提语外的其他几种藏缅语中得到证实。在大多数藏缅语中，等号连词是“可选的”，只出现在具有对比或强调意义的肯定句中。由于这个原因，连词经常发展成句子结尾的立场标记。由于动词在形态上有否定的标记，因此否定的等式句需要一个可以被否定的显性连词。这篇论文提供的数据表明，联系词的存在与否定的联系是如何导致否定意义与以前的联系词联系在一起的，在少数情况下，成为直接意义。

Copula to negator

Van der Auwera & Vossen (2017) identify an intriguing shift from a copula to a negative marker in the Tibeto-Burman Kiranti group, and discuss it as a possible example of Jespersen’s Cycle. This paper traces a fuller history of the copula #ni, and presents an account of its association with negation, which is attested in several other Tibeto-Burman languages besides Kiranti. In most Tibeto-Burman languages the equational copula is “optional”, occurring in affirmative sentences only with a contrastive or emphatic sense. For this reason copulas often develop into sentence-final stance markers. Since negation is morphologically marked on verbs, a negated equational sentence requires an overt copula which can be negated. This paper presents data showing how this association of the presence of a copula with negation has resulted in the negative sense becoming associated with and, in a few cases, becoming the direct meaning of the erstwhile copula.

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.
