Abstract: 摘要: 本文深入探讨汉藏语系格西霍尔语补语构造的性质及类型特征。格西 话的补语构造运用多种真性补语句与补语策略连结语义上的主要及 附属命题,不同结构的选择取决于主要及附属命题谓语间的语义整合 度。整合度越高,越倾向使用偏离独立语句的补语句或单句式的补语 策略。比较证据显示,格西话补语构造的两项类型特征"形式多样性 强"与"结构包蕴性弱"可能均与藏语长期接触的影响有关。 ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes the structures and typology of verbal complementation in the Dgebshes variety of Central Horpa (Sino-Tibetan). Dgebshes employs multiple types of complement clauses and complementation strategies to relate a primary state of affairs with a secondary state of affairs. Selection of complementation structures is determined to a large extent by the degree of semantic integration between the predicates of the two associated states of affairs. The tighter the semantic integration, the more likely the occurrence of deranked complement clauses and monoclausal complement strategies. Comparative evidence suggests that the two salient traits of Dgebshes complementation, increased formal diversity and decreased structural embedding, may both be correlated with prolonged contact with Tibetan.
