A Comparative Study Of The Motion Verbs On "Zuozhuan" And "Shishuoxinyu"

Based on semantic features [±motion] ,motion verbs are divided into a class of verbs.[±motion] area is an important modern Chinese verb semantic features,and the grammatic explanations are widely used. "Zuo Zhuan" represents the appearance of the ancient Chinese language,and "ShiShuoXinYu" is a document on Middle Ages . This paper will compare these two documents point of view,and we will detailedly study the verb of history of the motion verbs, drawing the relevant conclusions.First of all, from the classification to "Zuo Zhuan" and "ShiShuoXinYu", we will define the motion verbs and exhaustively analyze the motion vervs of the two books. In comparison to grammatic phenomenons about motion verbs , we try to explain pragmatic evolutions, while try to study somes cases of representative motion verbs.Second, the motion verbs occur that an object changes in spatial position due to movement, showing a certain degree of spatial characteristics, and the commencement of action in space is a certain direction. Investigation of the direction of the motion verbs is a problem to be solved we try to .Again, everything is developping,and motion verbs are no exception. We should look upon the development of the motion verbs. In this paper, "Zuo Zhuan" and "ShiShuoXinYu" corpus, we found several types of verb synonyms semantic field, and try to analyze from the perspective of evolution and the reasons of their evolution from vocabulary and grammarBy the detailed analysis of the motion verbs in "Zuo Zhuan" and "ShiShuoXinYu" ,we can find the evolution of development is uneven in grammatical and lexical verb sense : some motion verbs in the pre-Qin era, to the medieval use of the verb have been no displacement; some shift in the use of a single pre-Qin era, but in medieval times, but there are some differentiation of grammar or vocabulary, showing the decreasing frequency of using verbs; Some motion verbs aren relatively stable, not change much. These different aspects reflect the shift in language use, the verbs are constantly changing.
