客語「到」字初探 / A Preliminary Study on the Hakka Particle 'To'

Hakka is an under-developed language. compared with Mandrin and taiwanese.
Many fields of Hakka such as ststematic studies of syntactic, semantic and
pragmatic theories remain unexploited. This thesis aims to exploring some
linguistic phenomena of Hakka by means of the studies on the particle to
in Hakka.
To is a very versatile morpheme in Makka. It may serve as a main verb, a
coverb, a presuppositional particle or a verb ending. Chapter Two explores
the functions of to as a main verb and as a coverb. It discusses the three
functions of to as a coverb respecitvely.
To can occur between two portions in a sentence in which to serves to mark
the relation between the two portions. Chapter three explores the relatio-
ns between the two portions in such a to construcfion. The status of to in
such a construction is also investigated.
To can be a verb enaing of a verb compound. Chapter Four aiscusses what a
verb+to compound is. It explores the productivity of to as a verb ending.
It further explicates the structural ambiguity between a coverb to and a
verb ending to.
Cmapter Five makes a generalization and draws a conclusion. It is hoped t-
hat this thesis may provide a more intensive analysis of some Hakka const-
ructions involving to and thus may spark a wider interest in the Hakka la-
nguage.
