内容简介：

In this lecture, we shall how prosody has conditioned the evolution of morphology in Mandarin as well as in other Chinese/Sinitic languages. After a concise overview of Feng’s (1997, 1998, 2001, 2018, inter alia) application of the principles of Prosodic Morphology to Mandarin, we shall discuss two issues in the diachronic development of Chinese/Sinitic morphology: the creation and development of derivation-like elements; particularly prefixes/prefixoids (Arcodia 2012, 2023); and phenomena of reduced/nonconcatenative morphology in Northern Chinese dialects (Arcodia 2013, 2015, 2021; Lamarre 2015; Lamarre & Ōta 2017), as well as in Central and Southern Chinese dialects (Chappell 2023). We shall argue that prefix-like items, despite being generally considered to be morphological constituents, actually seem to follow the prosodic pattern of phrases, i.e. right-to-left footing. We shall also show that grammatical morphemes may undergo strong reduction in a large number of Mandarin and Jin dialects (Arcodia 2021), and this may lead to cumulative, nonconcatenative exponence, thus constituting a possible counter examples to Feng’s (2018) ‘Morphosyllabic Constraint’. We shall argue that this is made possible by some prosodic charateristics of Northern dialects which are not commonly found e.g. in Southern Sinitic: mostly, the presence of stress and of the neutral tone. We shall show that nonconcatenative expression of grammatical meanings and cumulative exponence may occur also in Central and Southern Sinitic languages, but due to different prosodic preconditions, elaborated ‘paradigms’ as those sees in (part of) Northern China do not seem to be attested.
