本文对汉语否定标记向是非疑问词语法化的历时过程进行了分析。我建议，输入到再分析是一个vP-neg-vP析取问题，其中第二个vP是由一个消极的辅助投射。这个助动词的中心语移动到一个直接占主导地位的析取短语的中心语，使否定者能够进入与疑问词C的同意关系，并检查那里的[Q]特征。随着时间的推移，否定者获得了最初在析取上的[uQ]特征。这使得反子随后在C中进行碱基合并，并作为Q粒子发挥作用。
Abstract This paper proposes a diachronic analysis of the grammaticalization of a marker of negation into a yes/no question particle in Chinese. I propose that the input to the reanalysis was a vP-neg-vP disjunctive question in which the second vP was projected by a negative auxiliary. Head movement of this auxiliary to the head of an immediately dominating disjunction phrase allowed the negator to enter into an Agree relation with interrogative C and check the [Q] feature there. In time, the negator acquired the [uQ] feature originally on the disjunction. This allowed the negator to subsequently be base merged in C and function as a Q particle.
