论语法化的理论内涵

从20世纪80年代语法化研究复兴至今,国内外的语法化研究都取得了丰硕成果,但也存在很多的分歧和争论。什么是语法化?这是语法化研究的本体问题,也是必须回答的首要问题。很多学者基于各自的研究思路和研究立场,对语法化的内涵作出了不同界定,但大多难以涵盖语法化的各种现象和领域。在语法化研究与类型学、构式语法等语言学前沿领域相结合,不断向更加广泛和深入的方向发展的今天,我们有必要对语法化的内涵加以梳理并对语法化的核心问题做进一步的讨论。

On Grammaticalization Itself

Since the revival of grammaticalization study in 1980s,great progress has been made in this linguistic field both home and abroad.However,there are also controversial issues under hot debates.What is grammaticalization? This is the primary and most fundamental question in the field.Tracing back the history of grammaticalization,different definitions have been proposed from various perspectives and approaches,but the panorama remains unclear to some extent.With the development of grammaticalization theory and the new interdisciplinary branches of typological grammaticalization and construction grammaticalization,it is necessary to review the ontological and fundamental questions concerning grammaticalization study.
