A Research Of Lianmian Words In The Direct Prose Style Of DaFu In The Western And Eastern Han-Dynasty

This thesis is a research of the Lianmian words (联绵字) which are concluded in the direct prose style of Da Fu (大赋) written during the Western and Eastern Han﹣Dynasty. In this thesis, the author sorts out these Lianmian words into two parts —— the Lianmian words used separately and the double ones used together. Our purpose is to promote a thorough investigation and research on the Lianmian words of the Western and Eastern Han﹣Dynasty. Following are the four chapters. As a preface, chapter one is divided into two sections. In the first part, the author introduces the predecessors' achievements about this research. In section two, the author introduces the specialty of the Lianmian words and the reason of choosing them as the target. In chapter two, the author investigates the single Lianmian words in two groups: the Lianmian words originated from pre﹣Qin﹣Dynasty and the ones appeared newly. The author sorts every group into five styles according to their different internal phonic relations. In chapter three, the author gives the appreciation to the double Lianmian words used together by analysing the three styles of AABB,ABA'B'and ABCD, studying their internal structure. As the innovation of this research, this chapter is the most important part of this thesis. In　the　first　section　of　 chapter　four,　the　author　reaches　the　conclusion　of　this　thesis.　In　the　second　section,　the　author　gives　further　explanation　on　the　significance　and　perspective　of　the　research.
