语法化问题是语言学界普遍关注的话题之一,功能和认知语言学派认为语法化与人类的认知能力及隐喻规则密切相关,是语言形式与功能演化的动因。Givón语法化连续统观是功能和认知学派语法化观点的典型代表,认为语法化先于语法,语言各级阶形成线性的连续统。Givón语法化观点从立论、理论依据及语言证据等方面都值得进一步思考和证伪。
Grammaticalization is one of the topics of general concern in linguistics. Functional and cognitive linguistic schools consider that grammaticalization is closely related to human cognitive ability and metaphorical rules, which is the motivation for the evolution of language form and function. Givón’s grammaticalization of continuum is a typical representative of the grammaticalization of functional and cognitive schools. It holds that grammaticalization precedes grammar, and that language at all levels form a linear continuum. Givon’s grammaticalization viewpoint deserves further reflection and falsification from the standpoint of argument, theoretical basis and linguistic evidence.
