The Making And Evolvement Of Chinese Words And Phrases

The researches of Chinese historical words and expressions concerned nowadays base on the Chinese traditional explanations of words in ancient books. Some western theories of contemporary semantics are also introduced and applied. Many contemporary disquisitions and monographs about certain book appeared too .Although, achievements are great, the researches on Chinese historical words and expressions are very deficient by now. The researches on the theory of historical lexics have just started .The commencement of Chinese historical lexics is very late and it also develops in a slow way , so it is not very consummate and deep studies are needed on both practices and theories . This dissertation studies the making and evolvement of Chinese words and Phrases basing on the related researches before .This research belongs to historical lexics, in which the development of Chinese words and phrases are discussed.This thesis studies the making and evolvement of Chinese words and expressions at two aspects: words and acceptation. On the basis of content and structure, the thesis is divided into two parts.The first part is the investigating about the making and evolvement of Chinese words and expressions, which relies on the accumulated regenerated words and transliterated loanwords in times of remote antiquity, ancient times, mediaeval times and the near ancient times. There are four chapters altogether, through theinvestigating of the morpheme sequel of Chinese syllable, the affix sequel of morpheme, the syntax sequel of the words and expressions, the words and expressions sequel of structure.

By way of the study on the affix"阿"and "子", this article delivered a new point on the birth times of prefix "阿" and suffix "子". It is emphasized in this paper that prefix "阿" came from the first syllable verb element of the double appellation noun "阿", the transience meaning from the original " 阿 "coming from the structure" 阿 + noun/verb".
