中文摘要 |
這是我們講西藏口語中的動詞的第二篇文章。第一篇講ergativity(集刊51: 15-32, 1980)這一篇講tense跟aspect。西藏口語中的動詞有些有兩個形式:sɛɛ, chɛɛ, chii是perfective base, sa, che, to是nonperfective base. 這兩個不同的base加上詞尾和助動詞形成種種不同的tense和aspect. |
英文摘要 |
Is the grammar of spoken Tibetan verbs as it relates to time one of tense or aspect? Or does it combine elements of both? Tense (following Comrie 1976. 1-2) ''relates the time of the situation referred to to some other time'', that is, the time to which the tense refers is situation-external. If the time to which the situation is related is the present, the tenses are absolute; otherwise, they are relative. The time with which aspect is concerned is that of the situation in itself, that is, it is situation-internal. If this time is viewed as an ''unanalyzable whole, with beginning, middle, and end rolled into one'', the aspect is perfective. |
