摘要：本講座將從語法化過程中語篇取向的單向增強以及轄域的方向性角度探討語法化的單向性問題。就語篇取向而言，語法範疇在演化過程中會越來越趨向於言者取向、聽者取向和篇章取向，我們將其統稱為「語篇取向」。同時，這些變化伴隨著其在句法範疇層級中的提升，通常表現為向小句邊緣的移動，此過程涉及轄域的擴展。此前二十餘年，關於語法化過程中轄域變化的爭議一直存在。一方面，在傳統結構主義的語法化研究中，有人主張「結構轄域」會縮小。然而，後來其他研究者則主張語法化伴隨轄域的擴大。針對這些相互矛盾的觀點，一些學者甚至提出，轄域問題不存在方向性。本講座將解決這一明顯的爭議。簡而言之，傳統語法化研究中的「結構轄域」與語言學其他領域中的「轄域」所指完全不同。因此，轄域縮小和擴大的主張在各自所指的轄域概念中都是正確的。
歡迎有興趣參與的同事及同學於2024年10月27日（星期日）或之前透過https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3KjCmsA0bbEnccC 報名。
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH) is delighted to announce that the 2nd Lecture of the Macao Humanities Forum (2024/2025) will be held on 29 October 2024. The forum aims to provide a platform for world-renowned scholars from diverse humanities fields to share their research with the FAH community and other UM scholars. All members of the UM community are cordially invited to this splendid event.
In this upcoming forum, we are honored to have Prof. Heiko Narrog as our guest speaker to deliver a lecture on the topic “Unidirectionality of Grammaticalization and Scope”. Prof. Narrog is a professor at Tohoku University, Japan. He received two PhDs from Ruhr University Bochum and the University of Tokyo respectively. His publications include the monographs Modality in Japanese and the Layered Structure of Clause (Benjamins, 2009), Modality, Subjectivity, and Semantic Change: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective (Oxford University Press, 2012), and Grammaticalization (Oxford University Press, 2021, co-authored with Bernd Heine), as well as three co-edited volumes with Bernd Heine The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Analysis (Oxford University Press, 2009/2015), The Oxford Handbook of Grammaticalization (Oxford University Press, 2011/2021), and Grammaticalization from a Typological Perspective (Oxford University Press, 2018).
Details of the forum are as follows:

Abstract:
In this presentation, I will discuss the concepts of unidirectionality in grammaticalization in terms of the idea of unidirectional increase in discourse orientation and of directionality of scope in grammaticalization. With respect to the former, when grammatical categories develop, they become increasingly speaker-oriented, hearer-oriented, and text-oriented, for which I use the superordinate label “discourse-oriented.” Concomitantly, they also rise in the hierarchy of syntactic categories. This often expresses itself in movement towards peripheral clause position. This involves an expansion of scope. For over twenty years, a controversy about the change of scope in grammaticalization persisted. On the one hand, in a traditional structuralist approach to grammaticalization, it has been claimed that “structural scope” decreases. However, later, other researchers have claimed just the opposite, namely scope expansion in grammaticalization. In response to the conflicting claims, some scholars have even concluded that there is no directionality. In this presentation, I resolve the apparent contradiction. In conclusion, the “structural scope” in traditional grammaticalization research refers to something entirely different from “scope” in the rest of linguistics. Conversely, both the claim about shrinking scope and expanding scope are correct with respect to the notion of scope to which they refer.
