摘要
自博亚斯首次报道在一种土生美洲人语言中,说话人能运用一种后缀来表达自己所提供信息的来源和可信度,当代语言学家已重视语言可证性的研究,并在更多语言中发现了表示可证性语义的证素。本文对八十年代的研究进展作了一般回顾,并对以切夫、安德逊、维莱特为代表的3种模式作了描写。这方面的研究将不仅有助于阐明语言的本质和功能,并将深化我们对社会符号学的认识。
Since Boas first reported his observation that a special category of suffix is used to denote the speaker's source and certainty of information in a native American language, the topic, evidentia-lity in language, has drawn the attention of contemporary linguists and been extended to more languages today. This paper aims at making a brief survey of the achievements made in the 80s in general and, describing three influential models as represented by Chafe, Anderson and Willet in pariticular. Research as such will not only help clarify the nature and function of language but also deepen our knowledge of social semiotics.
