Popis: 本稿は日本語の順接・逆接仮定条件を表わす命令文を取り上げ、それを意味変化の方向性仮説の反例とする先行研究への反論を試みると共に、通時的構文文法による分析を提案する。特に、「命令から条件」への変化だけでは本質を捉えられず、「命令文と後続文の間に推意として存在した条件という論理関係のコード化」と考えるべきこと、そして、意味に加え、形式の慣習化を考慮することにより、構文化過程を明らかにできると論じる。
This paper explores the conditional/concessive imperatives in Japanese to refute the claim that they present counterevidence to Traugott's model of semantic change, and to propose a construction grammar account of their development. Since the constructions consist of an imperative clause and another clause, functioning as a protasis and an apodosis, previous studies have focused on how the conditional meaning derives from the directive. However, given that a construction is a conventionalized pair of form and meaning, semantics alone cannot capture the whole story. This paper identifies the possible onset of the constructionalization, where the sequence is routinized and chunked together.
