单词 hisself
释义 hisself  his.self  AHD:  [h¹z-sµlf“] D.J.  [h!z6self]K.K.  [h!z6sWlf]pron.Chiefly Southern & South Midland U.S. (代词)【多用于美国南部和中部偏南】 Himself.他自己,他本人,他亲自用法:Speakers of some vernacular American dialects, particularly in the South, may use the possessive reflexive formhisself  instead of himself  (as in He cut hisself shaving ) and theirselves  or theirself  for themselves  (as in They found theirselves alone ). These forms reflect the tendency of speakers of vernacular dialects to regularize irregular patterns found in the corresponding standard variety. In Standard English, the pattern of reflexive pronoun forms shows slightly irregular patterning; all forms but two are composed of the possessive form of the pronoun and -self  or -selves,  as in myself  or ourselves.  The exceptions are himself  and themselves,  which are formed by attaching the suffix -self/-selves  to the object forms of he  and they  rather than their possessive forms. Speakers who use hisself  and theirselves  are smoothing out the pattern's inconsistencies by applying the same rule to all forms in the set.·A further regularization is the use of -self  regardless of number, yielding the forms ourself  and theirself.  Using a singular form in a plural context may seem imprecise, but the plural meaning of ourself  and theirself  is made clear by the presence of the plural forms our-  and their-. Hisself  and theirselves  have origins in British English and are still prevalent today in vernacular speech in England. 一些美国本土方言的使用者,尤其是美国南方人,可能会用所有格的反身代词形式hisself 代替 himself (如 He cut hisself shaving﹝刮脸时他割到自己﹞ )以及 theirselves 或 theirself 代替 themselves (如 They found theirselves alone﹝他们发觉自己很孤独﹞ )。这些形式反映出本土方言使用者试图规则化相应标准变化中的不规则模式。在标准英语中,反身代词模式显示出略微不规则模式的形成;除两个反身代词外,所有的反身代词都由代词的所有格形式加 -self 或 -selves 构成(如 myself 或 ourselves )。例外的就是 himself 和 themselves ,将后缀 -self/-selves 附加在 he 和 they 的宾格形式而不是所有格形式上形成。采用 hisself 和 theirselves 的本土方言使用者消除了将同一规则用于一组中所有形式时产生的模式矛盾。进一步的规则化是不考虑数量而全部使用 -self ,由此产生 ourself 和 theirself 。在复数上下文中使用单数形式似乎有失严谨,但 ourself 和 theirself 的复数含义已由复数形式的 our- 和 their-清楚表明。Hisself 和 theirselves 起源于英式英语并在英国本土语言中依然流行
