The Diochronic Evolution And Svnchronic Distribution Of The Conceptual Domain Of "Cheating" Of Chinese

When people express the conception of "to cover up the truth in false words or actions to make people fall into the trap", they use the word" cheat"most commonly.However, in the history of Chinese word, the words that refer to the conception of "cheat" were abandent.and made up the conceptual domain of "cheating".The leading words of the conceptual domain were changed along with the times.from qi(欺)to pian(骗)in Yuan Dynasty.The language is constantly grow and change with the times.the new words are emerged in endlessly and the old words are become extinct.which are eternal topic.there were many new words come into the conceptual domain of "cheating",and old words got out in the history.only a few key words can stay in the center of the conceptual domain from ancient to modern times.if we handle the diachronic evolution of the few words.then we can handle the diachronic evolution of the copnceptual domain.we divided the Chinese language into Old Chinese, Middle Chinese and Ealy Modern Chinese.to make a comparative diochronic study of the conceptual domain by the study of "qi"(欺)’’pian"(骗)"zha"(诈) and "kuang"(诳)and the leading words of the conceptual domain were changed from "qi" to "pian" togther with the morphemelize of "qi".At last,we made a comparative study of the synchronic distribution of the conceptual domian in mordern Chinese in order to combined the diochronic evolution with the synchronic distribution.
