LaPolla)主编的The Sino-Tibetan Languages第三部分和第八部分为基础。以传统语法为基础,结合认知语言学、功能语言学和语用学的理论框架,探讨汉语连词“和”与Garo语连接成分在不同语境中的语义和语用功能。通过对比分析,揭示两种语言在连词使用上的异同,并探讨连词如何反映语言使用者的认知模式和话语逻辑。This article is based on a translation of Parts III and VIII of The Sino-Tibetan Languages, edited by American linguists Graham Thurgood and Randy J. LaPolla. From the perspective of traditional grammar, this paper first expounds the definition of conjunctions in modern Chinese and Garo, then compares the Chinese conjunctions “and” and Garo conjunctions, and combines the basic principles of cognitive linguistics in the process of comparison, analyzes the semantic functions of Chinese and Garo conjunctions, and explains the characteristics and differences between them.展开更多
