초록
The aim of this study is to explore the grammatical markers of goal, i.e., Allatives, in Thai from a grammaticalization perspective. Despite the controversy as to the presence or absence of prepositions in Thai, a fluid perspective of grammar allows analyzing a large number of forms as Allatives, though at varying degrees of grammaticalization. We identify 26 such forms that developed from mostly verbs but a few involving nouns, whose semantics of denoting directed motion, action resulting in contact, destination, and association contributed to their grammaticalization. A number of peculiarities of grammaticalization scenarios of Thai Allatives are due to the language's typological characteristics, i.e., the isolating and analytic morphology. The multiple forms in a single functional domain exhibit functional specialization along such variables as Living, Animate, Human, Event, Time, Honorific, Formal, and Emphatic. It is particularly notable that poly-morphemic Allatives tend to be emphatic forms. We argue that multiple forms crowding in a functional domain is a result of innovation driven by the desire to be creative and expressive.
Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the grammatical markers of goal, i.e., Allatives, in Thai from a grammaticalization perspective. Despite the controversy as to the presence or absence of prepositions in Thai, a fluid perspective of grammar allows analyzing a large number of forms as Allatives, though at varying degrees of grammaticalization. We identify 26 such forms that developed from mostly verbs but a few involving nouns, whose semantics of denoting directed motion, action resulting in contact, destination, and association contributed to their grammaticalization. A number of peculiarities of grammaticalization scenarios of Thai Allatives are due to the language's typological characteristics, i.e., the isolating and analytic morphology. The multiple forms in a single functional domain exhibit functional specialization along such variables as Living, Animate, Human, Event, Time, Honorific, Formal, and Emphatic. It is particularly notable that poly-morphemic Allatives tend to be emphatic forms. We argue that multiple forms crowding in a functional domain is a result of innovation driven by the desire to be creative and expressive.
