从中古佛经看事态助词“来”及其语法化

Research on the Auxiliary Word “lai” and It’s Grammaticalization in Buddhist Scriptures in the Middle-archaic Times

从现有的研究来看,关于事态助词“来”产生的年代还不够明确,形成的过程还比较模糊。梁银峰(2004)认为“来”产生于南北朝及隋代。本文以魏晋南北朝佛经为基本材料,佐证了梁氏的观点,并在此基础上进一步讨论“来”的语法化途径,以及语法化的动因和机制。

We are not pleased with the research on the auxiliary word “lai” in the present day. Its emergence time and historical evolution were inadequately definite. The paper on the emergence time and origin of the auxiliary word “lai” in Chinese is written by Liang Yinfeng. He thinks lai came into being in the Nan and Bei Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty. This article proves his viewpoint taking advantage of the Buddhist Scriptures in the middle-archaic time, and further research is done on the historical evolution and motivations and mechanisms of grammaticalization.
