汉语虚词huo和huohuo用法初探

Initial Exploration of Usages of the Chinese Function Words "huo" and "huohuo"

通过对huo和huohuo历时、共时发展演变情况的考察,以及对作者所在方言点词汇系统用法的调查,我们认为:(1)huo是由"和"、"合"、"活"等融合生长成的一个逐渐虚化的语素。(2)huohuo一直是个用于摹声、状貌的词缀。但在现代汉语方言中,huohuo主要用于状貌。

By means of observing and studying diachronic development and synchronic evolution of usages of the Chinese function words ＂huo＂ and ＂huohuo＂, the author suggests that： First, as a Chinese function morpheme ,＂ huo＂ derives from the Chinese words ＂和＂ ,＂合＂ and ＂活＂. Second, ＂huohuo＂ is a Chinese function morpheme used to imitate sounds and describe features from start. But in modem dialect of Chinese, it is mainly used to describe features.
