Research On "Xzi" In Buddhist Scriptures Of Han And Wei Dynasties

This paper research the semantic levels and functions of "子" in its postpositional structure from the perspective of the grammar and semantics of "X 子" phrase structure and disyllabic and polysyllabic words in Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties.In order to have a comprehensive understanding of the use of "X 子" in the Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties,we use the Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties collected on CBETA(Chinese Buddhist Electronic Texts Association)as the main corpus.In this paper,an exhaustive collection of "X 子”is conducted,leading to a comprehensive semantic and grammatical analysis of "子".In contrast to the "X 子" of the pre-chin period and Sui and Tang dynasties,the stage,which is the transition stage in the evolution of words from notional words to function words,of "子" in the Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties is reflected.The introduction part,we provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the study of Chinese "子" endings and "子" suffixes,their definition criteria,the era of their creation,and the definition of quasi-affixes and affix-like words.At the same time,this paper reviews the research on "X-子" in the Buddhist canonical literature,states the criteria for defining phrase and disyllabic and polysyllabic words,and introduces the research value and methodology of the selected topic.This paper focuses on describing and analysing the structure of "X子" in the Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties,which is divided into "X子" phrase structure and disyllabic and polysyllabic words.A detailed description is given from both grammatical and semantic perspectives,in order to explore the grammatical structure of"X-子" and the semantic characteristics of "子" in the Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties,and then to sort out the semantic levels of "子" in the Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties.Based on the discussion of the grammaticalization level of "子" in Han and Wei Buddhist scriptures,In Chapter 4,we analyzes the development mode of’X 子 "and the nature of "子" in disyllabic and polysyllabic words,and finally we summarize the stage of"子" in the grammaticalization process.We sort out the use of "X 子" in the pre-chin,Han,Sui and Tang dynasties from a chronological perspective,and historically traces the structure of "X子" in Han and Wei Buddhist scriptures.This paper examines the use of the "X-子 " disyllabic and polysyllabic words in Chinese literature during the Sui and Tang dynasties,and then The conclusion that the stage of "子" in the Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties is transition stage in the evolution of words from notional words to function words is derived.This paper,guided by the lexical-semantic theory of Mr.Yunfu Li,reveals the word-forming power of "子" and its grammaticalization level,extends the semantic study to linguistic units such as affixes and affix-like words,and grammatically locates "子" in Buddhist scriptures of the Han and Wei dynasties.
