摘要
本文通过观察现代汉语句首言据类话语标记的历时变化,探讨翻译与原创语之间的互动关系,认为在话语标记使用上汉语翻译推动了现代汉语的历时变化,这种互动关系可以基于经验性数据描述出来。运用历时类比语料,本研究对比分析了汉语在20世纪四个时期句首言据类标记的使用状况。研究发现,现代汉语较旧白话更依赖话语标记组织话语表达,这在很大程度上与白话文翻译有关。研究还发现,翻译作用于现代汉语的主要方式是选择性语法复制。这种复制产生高度同构的结构,导致基本码汉语中对等成分使用频率增大,或加快其语用化过程,最终使基本码汉语和模型码英语在言据标记使用上更为接近。
This paper observes the effect of translational language on the evolution of the original language, arguing that, as far as discourse markers are concerned, translational Chinese has played an important part in the evolution of modern Chinese, which cannot be adequately accounted for without the support of empirical data. By the help of the historical and comparable corpora, the study compares the use of sentence-initial evidential markers in Chinese in the four periods of 20th century. It finds that Chinese uses more evidential markers to frame discourse than it did before baihuawen （ vernacular Chinese） movement, which implies the change in use owes a great deal to baihuawen transla- tions at that time. It is also pointed out that selective grammatical copying, a major way of language contact, yields highly isomorphic patterns, and enhances the use frequency of their equivalents in the Chinese basic code, which ac- celerates their pragmaticalization. As a result, the model code （e. g. English） and basic code （e. g. Chinese） are be- coming similar in the use of evidential discourse markers.
