On de(li55) as a coordinator in Chongqing Mandarin

Sicong Dong, Yin Zhong

Research output: Unpublished conference presentation (presented paper, abstract, poster) › Conference presentation (not published in journal/proceeding/book) › Academic research › peer-review

Abstract

The possessive marker 的 li55 in Chongqing Mandarin can also function as a coordinator. This function develops from the usage of 的 li55 to link numbers or amounts in calculation. Several restrictions are found on the coordinating function of 的 li55, reflecting its original usage: the conjuncts must be nominal; 的 li55 must be used between every two conjuncts; it can only be used in informal registers; the conjuncts must be all the members of a definite set. The coordinating function of possessive markers is also found in other Sinitic languages, while rarely seen in other language families, meriting further typological investigations.
