我暂时将其称为话语修饰语的功能类别的成员是最容易受到语法中与接触相关的语言变化影响的项目。话语修饰语调节可归因于指导语法的语言心理处理活动。当双语者在高度自动化的操作中面临在他们所使用的系统中进行选择的紧张时,他们很容易将语法的公开表示减少到仅针对一组元素。优先考虑实用的主导语言。因此,话语修饰语领域中与接触相关的变化并不是由于本土语言中缺乏同等功能,也不是由于第二语言项目的整合可能对话语的整体风格产生的声望效应。相反,我将双语者言语中的共时性变化归因于对他们施加的认知压力,以利用占主导地位的语用语言的资源来实现情景性、手势式的话语调节目的,以及这种变化所产生的历时性变化,从而为说话者建立永久许可这样做
Members of a functional category that I tentatively call utterance modifiers are the most vulnerable items to contact-related linguistic change in grammar. Utterance modifiers regulate linguistic-mental processing activities that can be attributed to a grammar of directing. Bilinguals, when faced with the tension of choosing among the systems at their disposal in what is a highly automaticized operation, are tempted to reduce the overt representation of the grammar of directing to just one set of elements. Preference is given to the pragmatically dominant language. Contact-related change in the area of utterance modifiers is therefore not due to lack of equivalent functions in the indigenous language, nor is it due to the prestige effect that the integration of L2 items may have on the overall flavor of the discourse. Rather, I attribute synchronic variation in the speech of bilinguals to the cognitive pressure exerted on them to draw on the resources of the pragmatically dominant language for situative, gesturelike discourse-regulating purposes, and the diachronic change that arises from such variation to the establishment of a permanent licensing for speakers to do so
