Abstract

The primary aim of this paper is to discuss the historical development or grammaticalization of English adverbial -ly suffix and provide a diachronic analysis of manner adverbs and sentence adverbs from the perspective of secondary grammaticalization. The grammaticalization includes both the primary grammaticalization from a lexical to a grammatical and the secondary grammaticalization from a less grammatical to a more grammatical status. The emergence of the manner adverbs is due to the primary grammaticalization from OE adjectival suffix -lic to ME adverbial suffix -ly. In contrast, the emergence of sentence adverbs is due to the secondary grammaticalization from manner adverbs in VP domain to sentence adverbs in TP domain with grammatical features of tense and modality. This paper concludes that the secondary grammaticalization of the English adverbial -ly suffix includes the change from manner adverbs to sentence adverbs which obtain a new grammatical function of tense and modality.

본 연구는 -ly 부사의 역사적 발달, 즉 문법화 과정을 통해 영어 -ly 부사출현에 관한 연구에 목표를 둔다. 이원화된 (일차적 & 이차적) 문법화 관점에서 고대영어의 형용사화 접사 -lic이 중세영어시기에 부사화 접사 -ly로 변화한 것은 일차적 문법화이며 연속적으로 동사구부사인 태도부사가 문법적 자질인 양태성[+modal]과 시제자질[+tense]을 습득하여 TP 영역의 문장부사로 변화가 일어난 문법화 과정은 이차적 문법화라고 정의한다. 이차적 문법화란 어휘항목에 바로 문법화가 적용되는 것이 아니고 이미 문법화가 일어난 통사형태적 표지의 재분석이 일어나는 것이다([어휘범주 → 문법기능범주1 → 문법기능범주2]). 부사화의 과정에서 형용사화 접사 -lic이 부사화 접사 -ly로 범주변화가 일어나는 일차적 문법화과정(형용사 → 태도부사)을 거친 후 태도부사는 이차적 문법화의 과정을 거쳐 새로운 문법적 기능인 시제와 양태성을 갖게 되고 이러한 이차적 문법화(태도부사 → 문장부사)의 결과가 문장부사의 출현으로 나타났다.
