Abstract 摘要
This paper proposes that there are two types of indirect object markers in the Chinese language: The go-type and the give-type. The chronological development of these two types of indirect object markers will be discussed. Moreover, with reference to the Cantonese dialects, this paper will examine the factors contributing to the replacement of the go-type marker by the give-type marker. Finally, this typology of the indirect object markers is discussed from an areal linguistic perspective.

本文提出漢語有兩種間接賓語標記:給予類及趨向類,並討論它們的時序發展。透過早期粵方言材料和田野調查資料,我們歸納出給予類間接賓語標記取代趨向類間接賓語標記涉及的語法和語義因素。最後,我們也討論這兩類間接賓語標記在區域語言學上的意義。
