  • 本論文從言談及語用的觀點探討台語he與che的功能, 研究係根據五個半小時實際會話全面轉譯之語料,其中包括日常生活會話,廣播叩應節目,電視戲劇。本研究指出,台語的he與che, 除了指稱現實世界的事物及言談中的字句外,尚能用做毫無指稱功能的言談連接詞。再者, 研究中亦發現, he和che並不如文獻所提及的僅指示空間距離的遠近, 其亦可扮演標明言談中不同的交互作用,明言之, he用來標示說話者欲融入聽話者於言談之意圖,而che則可顯示僅有說話者能主控言談之進行。除此之外, 分析中亦發現he與che的眾多功能實從其空間指稱功能語法化演變而成。

    Abstract
    This thesis investigates Taiwanese he and che from a pragmatic-discoursal perspective. This analysis is based on 5.5 hours' recording of natural spoken data, including four daily conversations, three radio call-in programs and five TV drama series.
    In this study, it is pointed out that in addition to referring to an element extralinguistically or textually, he and che also serve as non-referential connective markers beyond the sentence level. Furthermore, their meaning contrast is found not to lie primarily in spatial specification, as recognized in the previous studies, but in interaction aspect. Specifically speaking, he is used to mark addressee involvement but che is to mark speaker involvement. Such an interactive function is able to disentangle the neutralization phenomenon in which both he and che can be used to refer to an entity of identical distance to the speaker, or a proper noun needless to specify, or a stretch of preceding discourse or a connective marker. Against the previous studies, their marking conversation involvement exhibits that the selection of he or che in these *neutralization* conditions actually makes a difference in interaction aspect, thus keeping their basic relationship of complementary opposition. Finally, this study also reveals that the various functions of he and che may undergo a grammaticalization development from their basic uses as a spatial deixis, which helps achieve a better understanding of their polysemous nature. From their basic spatial meaning, he and che can be developed to refer to a stretch of discourse or connect two units of discourse under the shift of domain from the extralinguistic world to the discourse universe. And from their spatial differentiation, the contrast between them may be derived to lie in their marking conversational involvement intended by the speaker through metaphorical extension of meaning. This directionality of derivation from extralinguistic to textual and from objective to subjective, in fact, conforms to the grammaticalization development from concreteness to abstractness, which has been observed in other languages.
