We know that "Ruoguo Shuo" is to connect the assuming relationship, generally constitute a "Ruoguo Shuo... Name" sentence structures. This research object basically is the "Ruoguo Shuo" sentence, which also can involve "Ruo Guo" patterns.Full text can be divided into three parts. The first section explores the"RuoguoShuo" the time of appearance, should be at the end of the qing dynasty. And infer that "Ruoguo Shuo" sentence is in "Ruo Guo" the basis of the sentences, atypical produced the "Ruo Guo" sentence led to the emergence of "Ruoguo Shuo" sentence patterns.The second part according to above analysis of word meaning changes of "Ruoguo Shuo",which has been in modern Chinese, the three stages of "Ruoguo Shuo" all exist, there are three relations of "Ruoguo Shuo" sentence, namely assumption relations, contrast relations and explain relations. It shows "if" structure of the three types of functionsThe third part, simply introduces "subjectivity and subjectivisation" theory that with"Ruoguo Shuo" subjectivity reinforced, in modern Chinese, "Ruoguo Shuo" experienced from "suppose a proposed a topic→assuming a topic→put forward a new topic" such a semantic change processes in form, also experienced "Ruoguo+ [Shuo]"→"Ruoguo + Shuo"→"(Ruoguo Shuo)" such changes process. In this variation process, the object after "Ruoguo Shuo" from"the fact that true or false→one fact→one new topic" . The hypothesis righteousness of "Ruoguo Shuo" increasingly falsified.From the collection of corpus, from the modern Chinese, the first "Ruoguo Shuo" appears late qing dynasty, "Ruoguo Shuo" is in "Ruoguo+ [Shuo]" stage. This phase, "Ruoguo Shuo" and "Ruo Guo" are interchangeable, here "Ruoguo Shuo" is the lexical meaning of assumption, "Shuo" is here to introduce statement hypothetical, at this stage, "Ruoguo" and "Shuo" are not combined strong, so before the combination of "Shuo" often can join the people who say the statement. Into the 1920s and 1930s, "Shuo" is also an indirect speech, its role is to introduce a kind of saying, this statement is commonly generally recognized, or it could be a scientific objective laws. The speaker know this statement is established, so use this has been confirmed as the saying, let behind real conclusions stand. In this phase, "Ruoguo Shuo" have been as the sentence from behind, visible in this phase, the union of "Ruoguo" and "Shuo" began to close.After the reform and opening-up policy,by the influence of foreign culture, the modern Chinese have developed a step further, "Ruoguo Shuo" also from pure hypothesis of assuming to discourse tag.The statement behind "Ruoguo Shuo" absolutely is to introduce a new information, is the speaker offered to come out. "Ruoguo Shuo" is as a whole discourse tag, had been condensed into one word.On this basis, this paper analyzes the subjective change under the perspective of "Ruoguo Shuo" word meaning evolution, and discusses the "Ruoguo Shuo" subjectivisation mechanismFinally, through 500 cases of "Ruoguo Shuo" the investigation, the authors deduce the sentence patterns in modern Chinese, "Ruoguo+ [Shuo]" and "Ruoguo + Shuo" stage are the advantage of usage. "(Ruoguo Shuo)" is of a burgeoning usage. So "Ruoguo Shuo" used in modern Chinese topic marker is not outstanding, act as assumption relation words are still the mainstream usage.The author thinks that through the above the "Ruoguo Shuo" sentence the causes, and "Ruoguo Shuo" marked by hypothesis to discourse tag semantic evolvement process in-depth description and analysis of "Ruoguo Shuo", and finally the usage of the sentence in the dictionary, can give a summary, semantic teaching, compilation of teaching Chinese as a foreign language and Chinese information processing and other related aspects play a part.
