天津手语的工具动量词研究
Instrument classifiers in Tianjin Sign Language
【摘要】 本文通过对天津手语的工具动量词语料进行分析,发现工具动量词手形可分为三类:整物手形、操作手形和整物+操作手形。通过对这三类动量词手形语法功能的研究,我们发现动量词手形并不是决定该谓语题元结构的唯一因素,也不能决定该谓语结构的及物性。通过以操手语者的非手控特征为方式状语的表达方法,我们可以测试到操手语者的身体与施事论元存在一致关系。这个发现可以让我们更加深入地研究这三类工具动量词的及物特性。同时也说明了操手语者的身体在体现论旨角色方面与量词手形有着同等重要的语法作用。以往对手语动量词的研究都比较侧重于对量词手形的分析,本文提出在工具动量词中操手语者的身体是除量词手形以外的又一重要量词表现形式。
【Abstract】 Careful analysis on the elicited data of instrument classifiers(ICLs)in Tianjin Sign Language(TSL)shows that instrument classifier handshape can be divided into three types:whole entity classifier,handling classifier and whole entity+handling classifier.It is found in ICLs that classifier handshape itself cannot determine the argument structure,as well as the transitivity of the whole predicate.Agent oriented non-manuals have been used to test the existence of agent argument in ICLs.It is found that the signer’s body has syntactic agreement relationship with the agent argument in all three types of instrument classifier predicates.This shows that signer’s body has similar grammatical function as the classifier handshape.Although researches in the literature mostly focus on the analysis of classifier handshape,it is proposed that signer’s body is also a type of classifier,which has similar grammatical function as classifier handshape in instrument classifier predicates in TSL.
