| Details | Abstract (short version):
This study traces the development of the adverb shin-ni ‘truly’, the hybrid form consisting of the Sino-Japanese noun shin 真 ‘truth’ and the adverbializer -ni of Japanese origin, in the history of Japanese, drawing on various historical and contemporary corpora. It has previously been observed that some words with the meaning “TRUE (‘true’, ‘real’)” have developed into “INTENSIVE” in Chinese, English, French, Hungarian, etc. (Kuteva et al. 2019: 443). This paper presents a case study of the word with the Chinese etymon 真/眞 in Japanese to contribute to a discussion of whether or not words that share the same Chinese etymon are grammaticalized into discourse-pragmatic markers similarly across some Asian languages. |
