AN ANALYSIS OF CHINESE AND ENGLISH MODALITIES: A COMPARATIVE APPROACH A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EAST ASIAN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES (CHINESE) MAY 2003 BY Shao-Iing Wang Dissertation Committee: Tao-chung (Ted) Yao, Chairperson Ying-che Li Robert. L. Cheng Chin-tang Lo Cynthia Ning © 2003, Shao-ling Wang All rights reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am not quite sure why my parents, You-min Chen and Yung-jang Wang. since my early years of schooling, have not cared too much about what is taught at school, but instead about what I have learned or sensed from the outside world, from the surroundings. However I know that from then on the passion for languages became what Shakespear's Leontes calls magic, "an artlLawful as eating" (Estrin, 1994). I remember that most ofthe days when other students were cramming for exams, I was sitting in my parents' language classes, becoming cultivated in the exquisite syntax and semantics of the tool for human communication. Most importantly, I was inspired by how to efficiently and effectively transmit a natural language to a non-native speaker of that language. In college, I was privileged to meet Dr. Chin-tang Lo who later supported my receipt of a Teaching Assistant Fellowship in the Ph.D program at the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures. For the past four and half years, I have been lucky to have my advisor, Dr. Tao-chung (Ted) Yao who has been so tolerant with all my questions in teaChing, studying and writing the disseration; Dr. Ying-che Li and Dr. Robert L. Cheng who gave me many valuable comments during the process ofcompleting my dissertation, and Dr. Cynthia Ning who served as one of the committee members, and who patiently assisted me with the correct usage of English expressions. I am also indebted to my husband, Irsham who has always been there with great support and encouragement; my dearest three and half-year-old son, Yi-wei (Zan) from whom I have observed how a trilingual environment can affect child iv language acquisition. I am very lucky in friends, too, particularly in the intelligence of Dr. Roderick Gammon who has generously shared his precious knowledge of computer technology with me. My dear sister who is also my best friend should be thanked for her efforts in finding useful materials for the dissertation. Numerous friends whose friendship and hospitality made my trip back to Hawai'l for the defense unforgettable. Last but not least, I am grateful for the exquisite University of Hawai'i. It is because of this unique academic environment that I have been able to be "somewhere" far beyond what I deserve. v ABSTRACT Modality, known as "Qing Tai Ci" in Mandarin, is one of the most important parts in a natural language. Failure to properly grasp the use of modality may cause unexpected misunderstandings. This paper, firstly, uses the definitions of the concept of modality proposed by western linguists, and then makes a syntactic and semantic comparison of modal expressions in both Mandarin and English. In view that modal expressions are a large inventory in these two languages, this paper, in Mandarin, selects and focuses on the analysis of modal auxiliaries hui, neng, keyi, yao, dei, and modal adverbs yiding, yinggai, kenengldagailyexu. In English, It includes WILL (BE GOING TO), CAN, MAY, MUST, and OUGHT TO with its variant, SHOULD. The negated modal expressions are discussed under the wide and the narrow scopes of the negation. The Klima (1964) tests, mainly used for Indo­ European languages, are applied to Mandarin modals in Chapter Five of this paper. Aside from the comparison of Mandarin and English modal expressions, Chapter Six, utilizing corpora linguistic study, compares the negated modal usages in Taiwan Mandarin and Beljng Mandarin. This paper only concentrates on the linguistic features of the selected modals. It is definitely necessary to have an integrated analysis on all the modal expressions in both Mandarin and English from the pedagogical prospective. It is the ambition of the author to continue studying modality with a symbiotic approach of Linguistics and Pedagogy. vi Table of Contents Acknowledgments "., " , iv Abstract , vi List of Tables ' x List of Graphs , xi List of Abbreviations xii Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation 1 1.2Strueture of the dissertation 3 1.3Typographical conventions , 5 Chapter 2: Modals and Modality 6 2.1 Definitions and Qualification of Modality 9 2.2 Modal Expressions 11 2.3 Types of Modalities 13 2.3.1 Epistemic vs. Deontic , 13 2.3.2 Dynamic possibility and Dynamic necessity 23 2.3.3 Alethic Modality 24 2.3.4 Speech Event and Act '" 26 2.3.5 Mood Particles 32 Chapter 3: A Prescription Or A Prediction? 36 3.1 Epistemic 37 3.1.1 Possibility 39 3.1.2 Necessity .42 3,1.3 Conclusion .46 3.2 Deontic , 46 3.2.1 Possibility 46 3.2.1.1 Permission .47 3.2.1.2 Command 49 3.2.2 Necessity 50 3.3 Dynamic Possibility 55 3.3.1 WILL, CAN vs, Hui , 55 3.4 Dynamic Necessity 56 3.4.1 MUST vs. Yiding 56 3.4.2 Mandarin Yaoand Huivs. English-WILL & Be GOING TO 58 Chapter 4: HUi, Nang, Key; in Mandarin and ·Can" in English 61 4.1 The Meaning of Keyi 62 4.1.1 Epistemic Possibility ,,., 62 4.1.2 The Indication of Capability 66 4.1.3.

  • Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies
    RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN ASIA Kuo (ed.) Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Edited by Cheng-tian Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Society in Asia The Religion and Society in Asia series presents state-of-the-art cross-disciplinary academic research on colonial, postcolonial and contemporary entanglements between the socio-political and the religious, including the politics of religion, throughout Asian societies. It thus explores how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities directly and indirectly impact on local moral geographies, identity politics, political parties, civil society organizations, economic interests, and the law. It brings into view how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities are in turn configured according to socio-political, economic as well as security interests. The series provides brand new comparative material on how notions of self and other as well as justice and the commonweal have been predicated upon ‘the religious’ in Asia since the colonial/imperialist period until today.

  • The Syntax of Chinese
    This page intentionally left blank The Syntax of Chinese The past quarter of a century has seen a surge in Chinese syntactic research that has produced a sizeable literature on the analysis of almost every construction in Mandarin Chinese. This guide to Chinese syntax analyzes the majority of constructions in Chinese that have featured in theoretical linguistics in the past twenty-five years, using the authors’ own analyses as well as existing or potential alternative treatments. A broad variety of topics are covered, including categories, argument structure, passives, and anaphora. The discussion of each topic sums up the key research results and provides new points of departure for further research. This book will be invaluable both to students wanting to know more about the grammar of Chinese, and to graduate students and theoretical linguists interested in the universal principles that underlie human languages. james huang is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Harvard University. audrey li is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California. yafei li is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. cambridge syntax guides General editors: P. Austin, B. Comrie, J. Bresnan, D. Lightfoot, I. Roberts, N. V. Smith Responding to the increasing interest in comparative syntax, the goal of the Cambridge Syntax Guides is to make available to all linguists major findings, both descriptive and theoretical, which have emerged from the study of particular languages. The series is not committed to working in any particular framework, but rather seeks to make language-specific research available to theoreticians and practitioners of all persuasions.

  • (Form) Practice Component of Wushu. Taolu Routines Comprise of a Continuously
    About Wushu: Taolu Taolu refers to the set routine (form) practice component of wushu. Taolu routines comprise of a continuously connected set of pre-determined techniques, choreographed according to certain principles and philosophies which incorporate techniques and stylistic principles of attack and defense. These include hand techniques, leg techniques, jumps, sweeps, stances & footwork, seizing, throwing & wrestling, balances etc. Traditionally, Taolu routines were originally compiled to preserve the techniques and tactics of a particular lineage or system, and would gradually improve a practitioner's flexibility, stamina, strength, speed, balance and co-ordination, and would "imprint" a tactical order into practitioners. Taolu routines include individual routines and group routines, as well as partner/duel routines with 2 or more practitioners involved. They have a rich and diverse content utilizing a wide variety of techniques and includes both bare-handed routines and those performed with weapons. Sport wushu has developed from traditional wushu and is presented to the world in the form of a modern Olympic sport with a perfect combination of ancient practices and modern sports principles. Athletes perform routines (barehanded or with weaponry) based on specific rules, highlighting their athletic strengths. Routines are appraised by a panel of judges who evaluate different aspects of a performance, namely quality of movements, overall performance and degree of difficulty, and award a score based on an athlete's performance. Individual taolu routines include optional routines, compulsory routines, choreographed duel/sparring routines and group routines. Taolu competition takes place in a specialized 8m x 8m arena, which comprises of high density foam covered by a low-static carpet.
