“问答”类动词语义场的历史演变

Historical Evolution of the Semantic Field of the Question-and-answer Verbs

先秦时期,“问”与“对”配对使用,至唐五代,“答”在“问答”义场中表现活跃,逐渐取代“对”的义场核心成员地位,怀疑此时“对”在口语中已经消失,宋元明清时期,“对”在书面文献中用例也已极少,最终退出“问答”义场。

During Pre - Qin, ＂Wen＂ and ＂Dui＂ were used as a partnership ; while since Tang dynasty and Wudai, Da, as an active element in the Semantic Field of the Question - and - answer Verbs, began to take the place of Dui - the former core member of the Semantic Field we mentioned above step by step. We have reason to believe that Dui had faded out from the spoken language since that time; follow this trend, in Song Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties Dui was infrequently found even in the written documents and exit the Semantic Field of the Question - and - answer Verbs finally.
