本文考察了拉萨藏语敬语的结构及其语篇中的语境化功能。敬语表达是语言中有语法价值的项目,表示对互动事件中所指对象的尊重。此外,所指推迟到的范畴因表达的语法类别而异。在这些术语中区分了四个语法化的标引范畴。讨论的其他主题包括意识形态在塑造演讲者对传统指引性效果的认识方面的作用,以及基于语篇的指引性在超越这种常规限制方面的作用。
This article examines the structure of honorific expressions in Lhasa Tibetan and their contextualized function in discourse. Honorific expressions are grammatically valued items of the language that are indexical of deference toward referents picked out in interactional events. Moreover, the category of referent deferred-to varies by the grammatical class of the expression. Four grammaticalized indexical categories are distinguished in these terms. Additional themes discussed include the role of ideology in shaping speaker awareness of conventional indexical effects, and the role of discourse-based indexicality in transcending the limits of such conventios.
