The deep end of the feature pool: Syntactic hybridization in Chinese dialects
汉语方言里的混合句法
Dede Keith 狄志良

Abstract 摘要
Recent theories of language change have drawn heavily on models of biological change. Unlike old Stammbaum models, the new model accounts for language-contact induced change as part of the same processes at work in non-contact induced change. This paper describes the model and supports it with data from contact-induced syntactic change in Chinese dialects. The model proves to be a powerful explanatory tool for the syntactic hybridization data from Chinese dialects.

最近几年的语言演变理论大量地依靠生物学演变的模式(model)。与传统的“干枝”(Stammbaum)模式不同,这一新的理论模式阐述语言接触引起的语言演变与非语言接触引起的语言演变是同样的过程。本文拟以汉语方言里的语言接触引起的句法演变资料为依据,阐述这一新的理论模式。对于解释汉语方言里的混合句法,这一新的理论模式将是一种强有力的注释工具.
