本文探讨了“好”在普通话语篇中的结构性情态用法的发展。我的重点是变化路径的文化相关性：价值判断的表达在重复的话语语境中产生道义情态。汉语与日耳曼语在词汇来源上向道义情态动词的变化进行了对比。本文认为，个体的社会相互依赖和集体能动性的文化偏好是普通话“好”构式变化的驱动力，而个人能动性和自主性则是日耳曼语语义发展的基础。
This paper addresses the development of construction-specific modal uses of hao ‘good’ in Mandarin discourse. My focus is the cultural relevancy of the pathway of change: an expression of value judgment gives rise to deontic modality in recurring discourse contexts. Mandarin is contrasted with Germanic languages with regard to lexical sources of change towards deontic modals. It is suggested that social interdependence of individuals and the cultural preference of collective agency are the driving forces behind the change of the Mandarin hao constructions as opposed to personal agency and autonomy which underlies the semantic development in Germanic.
