空間域及相關功能的語義地圖研究

The Semantic Map of the Spatial Domain and Related Functions

本文利用語義地圖這一新興的類型學工具，研究空間域和相關域的功能。本文採用自下而上的研究方法，從湖南境內的方言，逐步擴展到其他漢語方言，通過比對不同語法形式的功能交疊，進而建立起以空間域功能節點為中心的語義地圖。這一語義地圖可以解釋漢語語料中諸多多功能語法模式。本文的一個重點是提出了多維語義地圖模型，幫助解決了多重語法化帶來的問題。

This paper employs the Semantic Map Model, a new tool for typological research, to study functions in the spatial domain and related domains. It takes a bottom-up approach, which starts with a limited number of dialects spoken in the single Chinese province of Hunan, and progressively moves on to include more data from other dialects of Chinese. It eventually establishes a map that can account for multifunctional patterns of relevant grams in the Chinese dataset. One highlight of this study is the Multi-layer Semantic Map Model, a methodological innovation to deal with polygrammaticalization.
