摘要

This paper aims to explore the k^hɤʔ^2-i^(33)乞伊VP construction in the Chaozhou dialect. k^hɤʔ^2-i^(33)乞伊 VP is a construction correlated with an adversative sense, which is called affective construction. A contrastive study on 19^(th)-century Chaozhou dialect documents and the current dialect reveals that the affective construction is derived from the formal passive construction as a result of topicalization and syntacticization. This construction exists in many varieties of the coastal Min dialect group due to the topic-prominent property of this dialect group. This property causes coastal Min dialects to differ from other Chinese dialects in terms of typology, while having a strong internal consistency in the evolution of some syntactic structures, such as the affective construction at issue and the resumptive disposal construction.

在潮州方言中，有一种带消极色彩的“乞伊VP”句式，本文称之为蒙受句。通过对十九世纪潮州方言文献与当今潮州方言的考察，以及当代方言之间的比较，本文认为蒙受句是“形式被动句”经过话题化、句法化而形成的。沿海闽方言大都存在这种蒙受句，这与闽方言话题优先的特点有关。话题优先的特点使得闽方言在某些句式（例如蒙受句和复指型处置句）的演变方面存在较强的内部一致性，具有一定的类型学意义。
