Contrastive Studies of Grammaticalization and Categorization in East Asian Languages : From Particulars to Universals

在本研究项目中，我们对东亚语言的分类和语法化进行了大规模的跨语言/跨方言调查。该项目的八名成员，即上面提到的六名，与井上正治（国立日语研究所）和星泉（东京外国语大学）一起，每年定期开会。2005年，也就是项目的最后一年，项目负责人组织了一个名为“东亚语言语法化和分类的对比研究”的研讨会：在日本语言学会年会上，项目成员宣读了关于汉语方言中给予动词的语法化、日语、汉语和韩语被动语态的类型学、越南语和汉语的分类和语法化的论文。项目成员更具体的研究活动如下：KIMURA和YANG研究了一些语音相关现象中的“结构化和分类化”，KIMURA和YANG研究了汉语被动标记动词的语法化。WASHIO利用荷兰语、法语、古典/现代日语、韩语和蒙古语等语言的数据，对结果语、被动语和非宾格等问题进行了跨语言研究。研究日语、汉语和韩语的INOUE提出了一种基于“影响”和“成为”等概念的被动语态类型。OGOSHI指出了韩语中被动语态使用的一些限制。LAMARRE研究了汉语方言、越南语方言、泰国语方言和日语方言中情态和空间表达的语法范畴的兴起和语法化的机制。MURAKAMI研究了越南语中定向动词的“副词化”等语法化过程，并将其与日语和汉语中的可能对应动词进行了比较。HOSHI从语法化的角度对名词性词缀进行了研究，重点关注了一些涉及名词性词缀的动词性结构中所观察到的语义变化。少

In the present research project, we conducted some large-scale cross-linguistic/cross-dialectal investigations into the categorization and grammaticalization in East Asian languages. The eight members of the project, the six given above, together with Masaru Inoue (The National Institute for Japanese Language) and Izumi Hoshi (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies), had regular meetings each year. In 2005, the last year of the project, the project leader organized a workshop called "Contrastive Studies of Grammaticalization and Categorization in East Asian Languages : with Special Reference to Voice and Spatial Expressions" at the 131^<st> Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of Japan, where the project members read papers on the grammaticalization of verbs of giving in the Chinese dialects, on the typology of passives in Japanese, Chinese and Korean, and on the categorization and grammaticalization in Vietnamese and Chinese.More specific research activities by the project members ar … More e as follows. KIMURA researched on "structuralization and categorization" in some voice-related phenomena, and KIMURA and YANG on the grammaticalization of verbs of giving into passive markers in Chinese. WASHIO conducted a cross-linguistic research on issues related to resultatives, passives and unaccusativity, drawing on data from languages like Dutch, French, Classical/Modern Japanese, Korean and Mongolian. INOUE, working on Japanese, Chinese and Korean, suggested a typology of passives based on notions like "affect" and "become." OGOSHI identified some constraints on the use of passive expressions in Korean. LAMARRE researched into the rise of grammatical categories and the mechanisms of grammaticalization regarding modality and spatial expressions in some Chinese dialects, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese. MURAKAMI worked on processes of grammaticalization such as the "adverbialization" of directional verbs in Vietnamese, comparing them with their possible counterparts in Japanese and Chinese. HOSHI researched on nominalizing affixes from a perspective of grammaticalization, with focus on the semantic changes observed in some verbal constructions involving nominalizing affixes. Less
