Contrastive Studies of Grammaticalization and Categorization in East Asian Languages

我们研究的目的是通过观察语法形式、意义和范畴之间的关系，揭示东亚语言在语法化和范畴化现象中的一般趋势和特殊变化。我们的团队由七名研究人员组成：上面提到的六名研究人员，以及国家日语研究所首席研究员井上正郎。我们每年会面两次，然后这个协会的成果会在日本或国外的会议或学术期刊上公布。东京外国语大学藏语语言学专家Hoshi Izumi参加了这些会议。研究的第一个主题是木村关于汉语使役结构和处置结构的研究，井上关于汉语使役和处置结构的研究，以及…关于汉语使役的各种类型及其否定时的行为更多的是关于中蒙古语动结式的研究，以及Ogoshi关于~Hata中两种相互竞争的复合动词形式的研究。这些研究揭示了一些主要的相似性，但也揭示了每种语言在语态范畴方面的独特行为。第二个主题是主观性的语言范畴化。杨凯荣对日语mo和汉语也的对比研究，以及村上乐对越南语中V+都、C+量词结构的描写，对这两种语言的范围语义和量词语义有了新的认识。拉马尔的研究描述了广东客家话的句末助词曾是如何从连接词语法化的，井上的研究比较了汉语的时马？日语So desu ka/so ka/so an desu ka的研究表明，汉语和日语等语言在句末助词的语法化及其语用功能方面可能有非常相似的策略。较少

The aim of our research was, through the observation of the correlations between grammatical forms, meaning and categories, to shed light upon general tendencies and particular variations in grammaticalization and categorization phenomena that occur in East Asian languages. Our team consisted of seven researchers : the six mentioned above, and INOUE Masaru, Chief Researcher at the National Institute for the Japanese Language. We met twice a year, and the results of this association were then presented at conferences or academic journals in Japan or abroad. HOSHI Izumi, a specialist of Tibetan linguistics at Tokyo University of Foreign Languages, was associated to these meetings. We give below a short (and not exhaustive) summary of our results.The first subject of our research was "the structuring and categorization of voice", treated by Kimura about Chinese causative and 'disposal' constructions, by Inoue about various types of causatives in Chinese and their behavior when negated, by … More Washio about resultative constructions in Middle Mongolian, and by Ogoshi about two competing forms of compound verbs in 〜hata. These studies brought to light some major similarities, but also the particular behavior of each language concerning the categorization of voice.The second theme addresses 'the linguistic categorization of subjectivity'. A contrastive study on Japanese mo and Chinese ye by Yang Kairong, and a description of the construction 'V+du?c + quantifier' in Vietnamese by Murakami (Le Van Cu) gave new insights on the semantics of scope and quantification in these languages. Lamarre's study, which described how sentence-final particle TSANG grammaticalized from a connective in Guangdong Hakka, and Inoue's, which compared Chinese shi ma? and Japanese so desu ka/so ka/so nan desu ka, show that languages typologically distant such as Chinese and Japanese may have very similar strategies concerning the grammaticalization of sentence-final particles and their pragmatic functions.
