| Adjoint category is one of the important topics in semantic category research,which is conducive to our understanding of the entire semantic system of Tibeto-Burmese language.In recent years,a popular research method is to conduct cross language comparative studies based on linguistic typology and semantic maps,and analyze the similarities and differences between languages.This article focuses on the research methods of semantic maps and the running program of this theory.Based on the existing semantic map and combined with the actual situation of Tibetan and Burmese languages,this paper adjusts some nodes of the semantic map,describes the polysemous patterns and semantic associations in the language,and attempts to analyze the motivation and mechanism of semantic evolution.The main content of this article includes: redefining the adjoint relationship from the perspective of categorization,establishing the adjoint category as the research object,and comprehensively describing the cognitive characteristics,syntactic and semantic characteristics of the adjoint category in Tibetan and Burmese languages.The cognitive process of concomitant categories is characterized by selectivity and progression.And analyze the cognitive process of accompanying categories based on category schemata.This paper analyzes the distinctive semantic characteristics of nouns and verbs that represent adjoint relationships,and these studies are conducive to better distinguishing between adjoint categories.This article discusses the encoding methods of associated categories in Tibeto-Burman language,classifies the encoding methods of associated categories into two categories according to morphological changes,analyzes the use of different encoding methods in Tibeto-Burman language,and summarizes some encoding rules.This paper examines the basic word order of the adjoint category connection items in Tibetan and Burmese languages,and analyzes the relative positions of the connection items and the basic word order.It has been found that isomorphism is an important feature of Tibetan and Burmese marker words.Traditional studies have used case grammar to explain this phenomenon,but case grammar cannot reveal the semantic relevance within the language.This paper attempts to study this grammatical phenomenon through semantic maps.In the process of elaborating the concept of semantic maps,we recognize that the prerequisite for studying language commonality is a unified comparative benchmark.After comparing different semantic maps,Zhang Wei(2013)indirect component semantic map was selected as the base map for the study.This article makes corresponding adjustments to several functional nodes in the original semantic map combined with the actual corpus of Tibeto-Burman language,and uses the new semantic map to analyze the semantic evolution of the accompanying categories in Tibeto-Burman language.Based on semantic maps,the "polysemous pattern" of accompanying markers in Tibetan and Burmese languages is divided into "accompanying category" and "tool category".Describe the multi functional patterns of semantics in different languages,and further analyze the motivations and mechanisms of semantic association between these concepts.This article discusses the encoding methods of associated categories in Tibeto-Burman language,classifies the encoding methods of associated categories into two categories according to morphological changes,analyzes the use of different encoding methods in Tibeto-Burman language,and summarizes some encoding rules.This paper investigates the basic word order of the adjoint category connection items in Tibetan and Burmese languages,and analyzes the relative positions of the connection items and the basic word order.Finally,it is analyzed that the Tibetan-Burmese language is developing towards an analytical language type. |
