チノ語-mɣの「多機能性」 : 漢藏語と対照しながら

Abstract

-mɣ is a versatile morpheme in Jino (Tibeto-Burman, Lolo-Burmese). It seem-ingly functions as nominalizer, complementizer, past tense marker and relativizer. In this paper, I describe the characteristics of -mɣ and claim that the functions of -mɣ can be analyzed as nominalizer and relativizer.[Table omitted] Besides, in contrast to other Sino-Tibetan languages we find that they all have versatile morphemes like Jino-mɣ. Among the Sino-Tibetan languages that I con-sider in this paper, the function of -khak~-hak in Belhare seems to be very similar to-mɣ in Jino. This paper also deals with the structural influence of Chinese on Jino -mɣ. Al-though the Chinese de does not seem very similar to Jino -mɣ, it probably caused Jino -mɣ to develop new usages, such as a modifying marker of adjectives.
