早期近代闽南话分析型致使结构的历史探讨 : A DIACHRONIC EXPLORATION OF ANALYTIC CAUSATIVES IN EARLY MODERN SOUTHERN MIN Zh En

Résumé En Zh

In this analysis of early Southern Min (16th – 17th centuries), we investigate analytic causative constructions formed respectively by khit4 乞 ‘to give'; su2 使 ‘to cause, send' and su3 賜 ‘to bestow, grant' on the basis of two main historical documents, the Doctrina Christiana and the Li Jing Ji. With reference to the diachronic development and grammaticalization pathways for these verbs, it is shown that each forms different semantic types of causatives. The central issue is to explain the apparently unusual occurrence of su3 賜 as a causative verb in the Doctrina Christiana.

本文以Doctrina Christiana和《荔镜记》两种历史文献为基础，考查早期近代闽南话（16至17世纪）的三类分析型致使结构：“乞”字式、“使”字式和“赐”字式。通过对这些动词的历时发展和语法化路径的分析，本文显示：这三类结构代表致使义的不同语义类型。本文的中心问题是解释Doctrina Christiana中出现的看似异常的致使义动词“赐”。
