项目摘要

This project will examine the expression of detransitivity (reflexivity, reciprocity and middle voice constructions) in the Brittonic languages, with a special focus on Welsh.Together with several other constructions, reflexivity and reciprocity are sub-domains of detransitive voice. Much cross-linguistic and typological research has been carried out on the grammatical categories as well as on their common semsntic and pragmatic features. Not only are these categories connected by interrelated semantic properties, they are also represented, in many languages, by identical markers. Most European languages display markers that encompass more than one such category, based on the so-called PIE "reflexive pronoun" *s(w)e, cp. e.g. German sich, French se, Italian si.The Brittonic languages Middle Welsh, Middle Breton and Middle Cornish employ a different strategy. Here reflexives and reciprocals are characterized by the verbal prefix Welsh ym-, Breton em-, Cornish om-. This prefix originates from the Proto-Celtic preposition *ambi- 'about, at two sides' and originally indicated reciprocity, but possibly also middle voice. One of the objectives of the present project is precisely to test this latter hypothesis. While in Cornish and Breton the prefix developed into the only marker of reflexivity and reciprocity that the two languages display, Welsh behaved differently. Next to the prefix, Welsh developed a second strategy to express reflexivity by means of the complex intensifier ei hun, which over time completely replaced the prefix in this function.These developments, which have not been researched so far, will be examined and dated based on a diachronic corpora analysis. They will also be discussed in relation to data gathered for typological research and for contact linguistics. In addition, convergent developments with the neighbouring languages will be considered. It is for example controversial, whether the use of the complex intensifier himself as a relative pronoun in English was influenced by Welsh.The project examines the diachronic restructuring of a grammatical sub-system of the Brittonic languages, and it aims at improving the understanding of their development. The expected results will also be relevant within the fields of typology, language contact and language change.

这个项目将研究在布列塔尼语中的去及物性（反身性，互反性和中间语态结构）的表达，特别关注威尔士语。与其他几个结构一起，反身性和互反性是去及物语态的子领域。许多跨语言和类型学的研究已经对这些语法范畴及其共同的语义和语用特征进行了研究。这些范畴不仅通过相互关联的语义属性联系起来，而且在许多语言中，它们还通过相同的标记来表示。大多数欧洲语言显示的标记包含不止一个这样的类别，基于所谓的PIE“反身代词”*s（w）e，cp。如德语sich、法语se、意大利语si。布列塔尼语中威尔士语、中布雷东语和中康沃尔语采用不同的策略。在这里，反身代词和反身代词的特点是动词前缀威尔士语ym-，布雷东em-，康沃尔语om-。这个前缀来源于原始凯尔特语介词 *ambi-“关于，在两边”，最初表示互惠，但也可能是中间的声音。本项目的目标之一正是检验后一种假设。虽然在康沃尔语和布雷东中，前缀发展成为两种语言显示的唯一自反性和互惠性标记，但威尔士语的表现不同。除了前缀之外，Welsh还发展了第二种表达反身性的策略，即通过复合加强词ei匈奴来表达反身性，随着时间的推移，它完全取代了这个功能中的前缀。他们也将讨论为类型学研究和接触语言学收集的数据。此外，还将考虑与邻近语言的趋同发展。例如，英语中复合加强词本身作为关系代词的使用是否受到威尔士语的影响，这是有争议的。该项目考察了布列塔尼语语法子系统的历时重组，旨在提高对它们发展的理解。预期结果也将与类型学、语言接触和语言变化领域有关。
