摘要
“是”在瓯语、徽语(部分)、粤语(部分)、客家话中用为存在动词兼处所介词。“是”在中古后期由系词发展为存在动词,随即变为介词。本文认为,系词“是”的语法化,主要是由判断句中NP的次类变换、语序的变化、句式的变化以及语气的变化引起的。
Shi（是） is a locative preposition as well as an existential verb in Ou dialect, Hakka dialect part of Hui dialect（徽语） and Yue dialect（粤语）. It was at the late middle age that Shi（是） developed into an existential verb from its copular use, and then became a preposition. The grammaticalization of the copula Shi（是） mainly resulted from four aspects, the subcategory transform of NP in equational sentences, and the change of word order, construction and tone. Further more, the meaning and function of its original demonstrative use are related to the development of existential verb from copular Shi（是）.
