A Case Study on the Enclitics in Anyuan Hakka Dialect of Jiangxi Province
After investigating various enclitics in Anyuan Hakka dialect of Jiangxi province,we found that the combination of special enclitics and phonetic hosts is closer than that of ordinary enclitics and phonetic hosts,the concentrated manifestation is that the tone of special enclitics changes with the tone of the preceding character,and the tone sandhi patterns are highly consistent.Thus,this paper proposes an grammaticalization path of"content item>grammatical word/ordinary clitic/special clitic>intra-word component/zero form",which provides a new perspective for the development and evolution of Chinese clitics.
