摘要本文讨论了非人类动物在语义突显度上的中间位置,并说明了语言动物性的复杂性和语境驱动的方面。重点是义务和动态模态,以及零人称和被动结构,在芬兰。这些类型的结构被描述为保留给人类参考。本研究的语料来源于一个广播节目,听众在节目中提出了他们对自然的观察所产生的问题。它由263次出现的模态和开放的参考结构与非人类的动画参考。本文的目的是确定的属性,使非人类的动画可接受的参考在正在研究的结构,并表明,优先考虑人类的参考是不是这些结构的语法属性。相反,它们编码共享的主体间、物种间经验。为了理解其他生物的行为,说话者表现出对非人类生物的关注和兴趣的认可:他们使用语言结构,使他们和所有其他对话者成为情境的潜在参与者,即使所描述的情境不是典型的人类。非人类动画的能力,环境和寿命是不熟悉的对话者和动机他们的问题和解释,但有物理状态和过程,以及共同的所有动画,允许对话者采取非人类的观点的心理经验。
Abstract This paper deals with the intermediate position of non-human animates on semantic prominence scales and illustrates the complexity and the context-driven aspect of linguistic animacy. The focus is on deontic and dynamic modals, as well as the zero person and passive constructions, in Finnish. These types of structures have been described as reserved for human reference. The corpus of this study is collected from a radio program where listeners call in to present questions arising from their nature observations. It consists of 263 occurrences of modal and open reference constructions with non-human animate reference. The paper aims to determine the properties that make non-human animates acceptable referents in the constructions under study and shows that prioritizing human reference is not a grammatical property of these constructions. Rather, they encode shared intersubjective, interspecies experience. Seeking to understand the behavior of the other animate being, speakers display recognition of non-human beings’ concerns and interests: they use linguistic constructions that engage them and all other interlocutors as potential participants of the situation, even when the situation described is not typical of humans. The nonhuman animates’ capacities, environment and life span are unfamiliar to the interlocutors and motivate their questions and explanations, but there are physical states and processes as well as mental experiences common to all animates that allow for the interlocutors to adopt the non-human viewpoint.
