Bingfu Lu2008 Volume 2008 Issue 255 Pages 1-18

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis article proposes a procedure of word order analysis, namely 'intensive induction', which is the extension of tetrachoric table widely used in typology. Using this procedure, it is inferred that [Patient + Agent + V] and [Definite + Universal + V] orders are dominant to [Agent + Patient + V] and [Universal + Definite + V] orders respectively. A further conclusion based on the procedure is that the universal referent in universal judgment of Chinese is an adverbial in terms of syntactic position, neither a topic nor a subject as previously proposed by some syntacticians.View full abstractDownload PDF (2008K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper analyzes the usage of modality in Taiwanese Hakka. Taiwanese Hakka speakers when asked for a hearers' opinion about an event or a thing, use modal verbs such as “yu” or “voi” to distinguish a judgment about a proposition. When a speaker makes judgments, they at the same time, show his or her mental conceptualization of the event or thing. The speakers' construal of an event or a thing is based on their conceptualization of “bounding” in contrast to the “unbounding” in their cognitive domain about the idealistic or realistic concepts of the event or thing.View full abstractDownload PDF (2228K) -
Focusing on AA, ABAB and AABBHengyue ZHANG2008 Volume 2008 Issue 255 Pages 56-77
Published: October 25, 2008
Released on J-STAGE: March 08, 2011
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper discusses the semantic structures of three types of onomatopoeia reduplication-AA, ABAB and AABB-by analysing their cognitive mechanisms. Three types of cognitive modes (rapid sequential scanning, sequential scanning and overlapping sequential scanning) are proposed for AA, ABAB and AABB respectively. By comparison, AA denotes faster scanning than ABAB. The difference between ABAB and AABB-a form unseen in other languages-is that the former denotes a process with intervals while the latter denotes one without intervals. We claim that the three cognitive modes are also adopted in reduplications of classifiers, verbs and adjectives.View full abstractDownload PDF (5508K) -
With Reference to the Evolution of the Reflexive Pronouns in Northern and Southern ChineseDandan Li2008 Volume 2008 Issue 255 Pages 78-94

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe RenZhongHua's Ryukyu Manuscript kept in Tenri University was adapted in the mid-eighteenth century, whose chief form of reflexive pronouns is Zìjia. Examining the matter from the synchronic grammar angle, the RenZhongHua's Ryukyu Manuscript is quite different from A Dream of Red Mansion's Gengchen Manuscript, while is quite similar to other Ryukyu Mandarin Textbooks and various southern dialects of Chinese. On the other hand, examining the matter from the diachronic grammar angle, the Near Modern Chinese's reflexive pronouns developed at different speeds and modes in south and north of China. This was probably related to the appearance of the antagonism between the inclusive and exclusive forms of first personal pronoun in north of China.View full abstractDownload PDF (1775K) -

Noriko SHIMAMURA2008 Volume 2008 Issue 255 Pages 177-196

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis paper demonstrates many examples of atypical phenomena where a verb-directional complement construction, composed of an intransitive verb, expresses a caused-motion. It also explores detailed description and analysis regarding of the mechanism in which intransitive verbs with intrinsically weak transitivity work as a causative-force in each context. The caused-motion of intransitive verbs expresses causative-force by borrowing a syntactic framework, 'Ba construction'. This paper explains these phenomena from the viewpoint of the meanings of constructions as well as the linkage between causing events and caused events. It also analyses the characteristics of contexts where this type of atypical caused-motion event appears.View full abstractDownload PDF (2181K) -
