试论古汉语名词作状语的性质和特点

On the Nature and Features of Archaic Chinese Nouns When Used as Adverbials

古汉语普通名词作状语是汉语名词基本功能中的一种特殊表现形式,在其名词作状语的语法虚化过程中,名词的基本特征并未改变,但发生了偏移现象,名词作状语表示的是一种与该名词相关的动态或状态意义。名词状语一旦和它的中心语结合后,便构成了一个非常紧密、不可分割的整体,使彼此间的形象色彩互相受到感染,从而产生出特殊的形象意味和感情色彩,具有鲜明的修辞特点。

It is a special form of expression in the fundamental functions of Chinese nouns when common nouns in archaic Chinese are used as adverbials. During the grammatical supposition process when the nouns are used as adverbials, there happens the deviation rather than the change of the fundamental functions of the nouns, indicating the dynamic or formal meanings relevant to those nouns. Once the noun adverbial is combined with the head words, the close and inseparable whole has been constructed to mutually influence the images and tints of each other, hence producing the special connotation and emotional colonr which bear manifest modifying characteristic.
