Abstract
The grammaticalization and subjectivization of kau in Southern Min dialect: Taking Yongchun Dialect as an example
In Southern Min dialect, the word kau can serve not only as a verb, complement, and complement marker, but also as an adverb, a marker of subjective large quantity, a conjunction, etc., and it is a multi-functional word. Among them, the evolution of directional complements, complement markers, etc. is mainly related to the weakening of the lexical meaning of kau and the strengthening of its syntactic function; while the functions such as the marker of subjective large quantity and adverb are mainly related to the strengthening of the pragmatic meaning and the fixation of the phonetic form. A comprehensive description of the above functions can provide a reasonable basis for reconstructing the evolution process of kau, and observe the roles played by grammaticalization and subjectivization in the syntactic and semantic aspects of kau.
Keywords: grammaticalization, subjectivization, semanticization, Southern Min
