Abstract

This study focuses on Tibetan interrogative pronouns. Firstly, it traces their records in Tibetan grammar, revealing their dual functions and compound forms. Then, according to the focus of inquiry, Tibetan interrogative pronouns are subdivided into ten semantic categories, including asking about people, things and places, time, etc. Subsequently, it deeply discusses the syntactic functions of interrogative pronouns in various semantic categories when they act as subjects, objects, attributives, adverbials, etc., demonstrating their richness and complexity in expressing interrogative semantics in Tibetan. This is of crucial significance for in-depth exploration of Tibetan grammatical structure and language usage. It also provides solid theoretical support for Tibetan language teaching, translation practice and cross-cultural communication.
