韩汉语话语标记“솔직히(말하면)”与“说实话”的对比研究

Abstract

The Korean and Chinese discourse markers 'soljjiki (malhamyon)’ and 'shuoshihua' are expressions with strong subjective nature. This paper mainly uses the expectancy theory, the three-domain theory, and the relevant principles of communicative pragmatics to conduct a comparative analysis of the two. Preliminarily, we can get make the following summary. First, from the perspective of interpersonal function, both have the functions of expressing positions, counter-expectation, and agreement of the viewpoint, but the subjectivity and flexibility of the Chinese 'shuoshihua' in the three conceptual domains are stronger than Korean 'soljjiki (malhamyon)’. Second, from the perspective of discourse functions, both of them can express the functions of cohesion, explanation and supplement, summary evaluation, and topic transfer. However, on the whole, the information on Korean 'soljjiki (malhamyon)’ is relatively concentrated and highly correlated, while the information on Chinese 'shuoshihua' is relatively scattered. Third, from the perspective of the motivations for the similarities and differences, we believe that they are mainly related to the grammaticalization path, language economy, syntactic cartography, expectation, and evidentiality. The Korean discourse marker 'soljjiki (malhamyon)’ does not involve many sentence patterns in the grammaticalization process, the syntactic cross-level is relatively weak, and the source of information is relatively indirect. In the grammaticalization process, Chinese 'shuoshihua' has strong sentence pattern permission, obvious syntactic cross-level, and a fairly direct source of information, which determines that it has relatively strong subjectivity.
