A Synchronic And Diachronic Interactionstudy Of Factivity Modal Adverbs In The Modern Chinese Dialects

In modern Chinese dialects,the factive modal adverbs are flexible in usage.This article mainly investigates the morphological types and semantic types of the factive modality adverbs in modern Chinese dialects,and the historical formation and related evolution of the typical members of various factive modality adverbs.Comprehensive use of lexicalization,grammaticalization,cognitive linguistics and other theories,select six representative words from the three types of factive modality adverbs,and conduct a comprehensive and systematic investigation of their use in Chinese history.It descripes the meaning of "Shi hua".The diachronic evolution path,mechanism,motivation and expression of nouns,"Zhen shi" verbs,"Zhen de" adjectives to factive modality adverbs,and then from factive modality adverbs to "Feichang" degree adverbs.From the perspective of diachronic evolution,it provides a reasonable explanation for the synchronic versatility of the dual-syllabic factive modality adverbs in dialect(including grammatical diversification and semantic polysemy).The full text is divided into three parts: introduction,body and conclusion.The first part is the introduction,which mainly explains the basis and significance of selecting modern Chinese factive modality adverbs as the research object,introduces the related research history and current situation of these words,explains the research methods and corpus sources of this article,and points out the innovations of this article.The second part is the main text,divided into four chapters: The first chapter first comprehensively describes the general usage,morphological types,semantic types and regional distribution of factive modality adverbs in modern Chinese dialects.It is found that the factive mood adverbs in modern Chinese dialects often have the same phenomenon as the nouns meaning "Shi qing/Shi hua",verbs meaning "Shu shi",adjectives meaning "Zhen de",adjectives meaning "Cheng shi",and adverbs of degree meaning "Fei chang".Chapters 2 to 4 examine the historical formation and evolution of typical members in the factive mood adverbs in modern Chinese dialects.Chapter 2examines the historical formation and evolution of additional factive modality adverbs,taking "Shi tou" and "Lao shi" as examples;Chapter 3 examines the historical formation and evolution of compound factive modality adverbs,with "Ren zhen" and "Dang zhen" As an example;Chapter 4 examines the historical formation and evolution of overlapping modality adverbs in modern Chinese dialects,taking "Shi shi" and "Zhen zhen" as examples.After investigation,it is found that the factive modal adverbs in modern Chinese dialects are derived from the "Shi shi" meaning nouns used as the subject in the judgment sentence,or from the psychological verbs meaning "Xin yi wei zhen",or from the "Cheng shi" which modifies the implicit verbal verb in the adverbial position,or derived from "Zhen shi" adjectives used as high-level predicates.Some of them later developed the use of adverbs of degree from the use of factive modality adverbs based on the default abductive reasoning of "NP VP is true → NP very VP".The third part is the conclusion,summarizing the main conclusions of the full text,summarizing the formation and evolution of modern Chinese dialect factive modality adverbs,mechanisms,conditions and expressions.
