本研究依托古代、現(xiàn)代漢語語料庫, 通過對”不過”與”X看”兩個案的研究探討了漢語語用標記的歷史形成過程。”不過”與”X看”這兩個結(jié)構(gòu)最初只是作為非語用性質(zhì)的動詞詞組, 隨著時間的推移, 進而演變?yōu)榫哂衅抡Z用功能的語用標記。本書有兩個主要目的: 1) 探討”不過”與”X看”結(jié)構(gòu)的篇章語用變化是如何發(fā)生的, 以及為何會產(chǎn)生這種歷史變化; 2) 證明語用標記的演變非語法化范疇。通過歷時探究, 本書認為語用標記以及其他相似語言成分的歷史形成過程屬于語用法化(pragmaticalization) 范疇。語用法化與語法化是兩種不同的語言演變過程。

Chapter One Introduction
In recent decades, the research on language change has attracted a lot of attention in both functionalist and formalist circles, and one of the newly thriving branches under such a historical study on language change is termed grammaticalization, which focuses mainly on how grammatical categories rise in a language from certain linguistic expressions, usually content words, such as nouns and verbs (Meillet, 1912; Traugott, 1982; Traugott, 1995a, 1995b; Hopper & Traugottt, 2003; Sun & Traugott, 2011, etc.). Research on language change such as grammaticalization has also inspired a growing number of in-vestigations on the historical development of pragmatic markers and other similar linguistic items. However, problems begin to arise when previous scholars try to approach pragmatic markers as they have done to other lin-guistic items from the perspective of grammaticalization.
