摘要
形式或者功能相近或者相同的几个结构单位,如果最终拥有相同的演变结果,那么虽然它们各自的演化路径可能不尽相同,但是我们可以利用演化链的交叉来构拟出语义演化的关系网络。现代汉语中的话题标记"说到、说起、至于说、再说、要说"等都从跨层的结构发展出了标记话题转换的功能。通过对"说"类话题标记历时演变过程或者所展示出的共时多义性的考察,描绘出了涉及路径、假设、时间、相似、列举等多种语义的关系网络。这个语义网络或具有语言类型学价值。
This paper assumes that if several similar structural units with the same or similar meanings have the same evolution result,the network of their semantic changes can be reconstructed by overlapping the evolution paths which may have gone through different routes. In modern Chinese,the cross-structural combinations,such as shuodao (说到),shuoqi (说起),zhiyushuo (至于说),zaishuo (再说) and yaoshuo (要说),have developed into topic-shift markers. The paper also analyzes the diachronic and synchronic meanings of these topic-shift markers,and illustrates a semantic network including Route,Hypothesis,Time,Similarity,Enumeration,etc. This semantic network may be of significance in typology.
