摘要
在现代汉语中,副词“可”除了作语气副词表强调语气的意义外,还兼属程度副词,有程度意义。“可”表程度义主要出现在感叹句中,一般表主观程度。它这种用法萌芽于战国末,发展于两汉六朝,成熟于唐宋时期,由兼表主观客观程度到现代汉语中主表主观程度。这其间语法化过程中的语义泛化、语境影响共同作用,并有强化和更新现象发生,使得“可”在虚化程度一步步加深的同时又保留了其表程度高的功能。
In modern Chinese the adverb“key” （可） is a modal adverb which has basic meaning of emphasis mood, and it is also an intensifier which has a degree meaning.“Ke” （ 可） is mainly used in exclamatory sentences when it expresses degree, and usually expresses subjective degree. The usage sprouted in Zhangguo times, developed in Two Han and Six Dynasty, and was ripe in Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. It could express both subjective and objective degree at first. Afterwards, it can mainly express subjective degree in modern Chinese. Owing to semantic generalization and contextual effect, in addition, reinforcement and renewal in grammaticalization occured during this peroid. The empty degree of “ke” （可） has deepened step by step. Meanwhile, its function of expressing high degree was kept.
