説明

rGyarong is a Tibeto-Burman language, spoken in northwestern Sichuan. Province, China. The language has long attracted scholarly attention, because of the striking similarity of some lexical items to Tibetan orthography, and its entangled morphological processes. In no previous study, however, has there been any clear-cut description of the language's complexity. The verb morphology, above all, shows such a puzzling structure that no earlier works on rGyarong seem to have provided any convincing analyses. The most complicated part of the rGyarong morphological processes is the final verb phrase, which has the following general structure : (ka)-(P1)-P2-P3- (P4)-ROOT-(S1)-S2, where seven affixes play significant roles to specify agent, patient, goal, beneficiary, aspect, direction of act, manner of act, and so on. This paper describes the pronominal affixes which appear in the P3 and S2 positions as a set. They specify agent, patient, goal and beneficiary as well as their agreement. The manner of their specification is : P3 S2 VI state/process patient - patient VI action agent - agent VT without agreement agent - agent VT with agreement patient + agent - patient After the description of these affixes, their historical origin is studied through comparison with several genetically related languages and is discussed under the context of pronominalization in general. Finally, their tentative positioning among all Tibeto- Burman pronominalized languages is proposed.
