文章以“还”、“向”为例,分别考察“持续义”和“追溯义”的时间范畴向条件范畴的语义演变。在语义演变过程中,两者既具有时间范畴向条件范畴演变的跨语言反复出现的共性特征;同时由于“输入端”语义和功能的差异,也导致了在演变过程中各自的差异,并最终导致“输出端”即条件连词功能的不同。这个语义演变主要是通过重新分析和扩展这两个机制而实现的,其动因是基于“不过量原则”(即R原则)推理。
Taking Hai(还) and Xiang(向) as an example, this paper respectively investigates the change from two kinds of temporal category adverbs to conditional category. In the process of the semantic change, there are common characteristics which appear repeatedly in the cross-language when the temporal category evolves into the conditional category. Meanwhile, because of the difference of the input semantic and function, it also leads to the differences in the evolution of the process, and eventually the output varies in the function of conditional connective. On the basis of pragmatic inference of the R-Principle, this semantic change mainly through the two mechanisms reanalysis and extension.
