英文摘要 |
By grounding our hypothesis in the framework of the grammaticalization theories proposed by Jurafsky (1996) and Tsao (2006), this paper presents a study of the diminutive-induced sound changes in the Minnan vernaculars. In addition, we also explore the cause of the addition of nasal codas to the inherent rusheng rhyme groups in the Southern Min rhyme book Huì Yīn Miào Wù 彙音妙悟, and examine the semantic/syntactic categories of these affixed morphemes. |
