Description

Puxian is one of the Min dialects in China. This book investigates the function of pronominal expressions in Puxian, focusing especially on three prominent issues in the linguistic literature, viz. impersonal reference, self-forms and person effects on word order. The investigation of impersonality deals with a group of constructions in Puxian that have pronominalized subjects but crucially with impersonal reference. By means of careful examination, these subjects are, for the first time, projected onto five semantic domains on a connected loop. The discussion on self-forms in Puxian focuses on their interrelated functions along the pathway of grammaticalization, such as reflexivity, intensification, viewpoint markings, verbal manner, etc. Significantly, this discussion is based on the latest functional-typological perspectives, which is different from previous approaches to Mandarin ziji. The attention to word order and person effect is related to the polyfunctional morpheme k?21, which plays a part in several constructions, ranging from the monotransitives, ditransitives, causatives, passives and even to the intransitives. The main concern is how the grammatical category of person as a whole may affect the placement of syntactic constituents as well as encodings of argument roles by means of the morpheme k?21. Since Puxian has been relatively unknown in linguistics, a sketch of Puxian grammar and language situation is also offered in this book.
