On Three Kinds of Emphatic Markers and Their Mechanisms in Chinese Imperatives
There are three kinds of overt emphatic markers in Chinese imperatives:intensification adverbs,discourse marker and deontic modal verbs.These emphatic markers differ in use conditions and grammatical distributions such as occurrence constraints in positive and negative imperatives,co-occurrence with each other.In addition,their emphatic mechanisms are also different.Intensification adverbs not only require the content of imperatives to be realized in utterance context,but also in all possible context related.Discourse marker shows a stronger subjectivity by reconstructing and strengthening the speaker's authority status in discourse.Deontic modal verbs introduce modal requirements with objectivity to imperatives,thus showing a double performative property of objectivity and subjectivity.
