东北方言"挺"的语法化界变探究OACHSSCD

Taking the word"ting"in Northeastern Mandarin as the core object of investigation,experimental phonetics and diachronic-synchronic comparative methods were employed.The diachronic evolution trajectory of its grammatical functions was systematically traced,thereby uncovering its intrinsic spiral pattern of boundedness shift.During the Pre-Qin and Han periods,"ting" functioned as a bounded verb with clear spatiotemporal boundaries.From the Sui and Tang to Five Dynasties periods,it gradually grammaticalized into an unbounded component describing states or properties.During the Yuan,Ming,and Qing periods,it further developed into an unbounded degree adverb,showing initial signs of bounded lexicalization.In Northeastern Mandarin,constructions like "X ting" and"X tingting"have achieved semantic reconfiguration from unbounded to bounded through affixation and prosodic adjustment.By examining this boundedness shift,the cognitive mechanisms underlying how semantic boundedness dynamically adjusts through linguistic practice was revealed.
