A Typological Study of the Influence of Language Contact on Lexico-Grammatical Structures : A Contrastive Study of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese

本研究的主要研究成果如下：（1）日语和韩语的语法化模式：两种语言属于同一形态类型（黏着语），语法化模式具有相似性。然而，在更仔细的审查下，这两种语言表现出微妙的差异（Horie 2003，Ishihara，Horie，and Pardeshi，in press）。（2）在日语、韩语和越南语中观察到的多功能性现象：多功能性是东亚和东南亚语言中常见的现象（雅普、马修斯和堀江2004）。日语、韩语和越南语中普遍存在及物标记的语法化现象，这种语法化现象表现出多功能性，并在不同语境中有不同的解释（Horie and Murakami，in press）。（3）日语语法化结构中的主观化现象：日语语法化结构中存在着一种语义语用变化，即“主观化”（Traugott 2003）（Horie and Shimura 2003，Horie and Kondo 2004）。

The major research findings gained through this study include the following :(1)Grammaticalization patterns between Japanese and Korean :Both languages belong to the same morphological type (agglutinating languages) and grammaticalization patterns exhibit similarities. However, under closer scrutiny, the two languages exhibit subtle differences (Horie 2003, Ishihara, Horie, and Pardeshi, in press).(2)Polyfunctionality phenomena observed in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese :Polyfunctionality is a commonly observed phenomenon in East and South East Asian languages (Yap, Matthews, and Horie 2004). Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese commonly manifest a grammaticalization phenomenon of transitive marking, which shows polyfunctionality and is subject to varying interpretations contextually (Horie and Murakami, in press).(3)Subjectification phenomena in the grammaticalized constructions in Japanese :Japanese exhibits a semantic-pragmatic change known as "subjectification" (Traugott 2003) in its grammaticalized constructions (Horie and Shimura 2003, Horie and Kondo 2004).
