Abstract

The genitive marker 的 li⁵⁵ in Chongqing Mandarin can also function as a coordinating conjunction. This function develops from the usage of li⁵⁵ to link numbers or quantities in calculations. Several restrictions are found on the coordinator li⁵⁵, e.g., conjuncts must be nominal and shall be all the members of a definite set; li⁵⁵ must be used between every two conjuncts and can only be used in informal registers. Similar coordinate function of genitive markers can also be found in other Sinitic languages while rarely seen in other language families, which merits further typological investigations.
