Abstract/Summary:
"Opening and closing" is a group of commonly used action concepts.The members of the concept domain of "opening and closing" are taken as the research objects in this paper,and the diachronic evolution process of the main members of the concept domain of "opening and closing" is described in detail by adopting the research methods of synchronic and diachronic,quantitative and qualitative combination.On this basis,combined with the relevant lexicological theories,this paper discusses the problems such as the replacement of leading words,the redistribution of members’ meaning region,the disyllabic phenomenon of related combination structures,etc.This paper is divided into five parts:"Introduction" mainly introduces the research object,research content and present situation of the thesis.The research corpus and research methods are also explained.The first chapter describes the diachronic evolution of the members of the concept domain of "opening and closing" in ancient Chinese.After roughly combing the main situation of each member in the domain,this paper focuses on the detailed comparison and description of the most typical and commonly used members in the conceptual domain.During this period,words like "Kai" was replaced by "Kai(开)" to "Qi(启)",which roughly established the pattern of "Kai(开)" as the leading factor in Putonghua today.The second chapter introduces the development and evolution of the members of the concept domain of "opening and closing" in Middle ancient Chinese.The content mainly involves the addition of new members,the fluctuation of the frequency of use of old members,the change of semantic domain and so on.The third chapter describes the changing process of the leading words in the concept domain of "closing" in early modern Chinese,and explores the reasons for the changing of the leading words.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties,the dominant word of "closing" changed from "Bi(闭)" to "Guan(关)",the semantic domain distribution of each member was basically determined,and the situation in modern Chinese has basically taken shape.Chapter four is the study of semantic syntax.Starting from the etymological meaning of verbs and the directional factors in Verb meaning,this paper mainly explains the reasons for the differences between the combined objects of words like "open " and words like "close ".Combined.with the phrase disyllabic theory,this paper introduces the lexicalization process of disyllabic words in modern Chinese,which are composed of related members of "opening " and "closing ".The "conclusion" part is a further summary and reflection on the research contents of the above chapters.
