本文重点对情态助动词 ke ? 进行共时分析。和 kě yǐ ?在汉族时期的汉语中。研究表明,汉代中国人克?和 kě yǐ ?主要表达根可能性值,而道义值主要限于构造的否定形式。命题值(无论是认知的还是证据的)几乎不存在,只与允许证据解释的动词同时出现,这一概念在古典汉语中已经存在。
This article focuses on a synchronic analysis of the modal auxiliary verbs ke ? and kě yǐ ? in Han period Chinese. The study reveals that in Han period Chinese ke ? and kě yǐ ? predominantly express root possibility values, while deontic values are mainly restricted to the negated form of the construction. Propositional values (either epistemic or evidential) are almost non-existent and co-occurr only with verbs that licence an evidential interpretation, a notion which is already present in Classical Chinese.
