ABSTRACT

This paper mainly discusses synchronic grammaticalization of ‘de’ in the structure of Word ‘de’ and explains syntactic distinctions between each variation. The main conclusions of this paper are as follows: “de” on synchronic plane is subdivided as two types of variation, One is Structural auxiliary word “de”, The other is Evidentiality marker “de”, and shows the following development process between them: Structural auxiliary word “de”> Evidentiality marker “de”. The above grammaticalization has been occurred by metonymy and the subjectivisation in “NP1＋shi(是)＋X＋de(的)”, which is the main syntactic environment. Because of the degree of grammaticalization, there are some changes in syntax between each variation, such as weakening of the function of shi(是), change of negative form, some changes in the position of adverbs, extension of subject scope.
