近代汉语比较介词“却”的产生

The Origin of the Neoteric Chinese Comparative Preposition "que"(却)

引进比较对象的介词"却"萌生于晚唐时期,其主要来源是"A+却+N"格式中的"却"。在"却"向介词发展的过程中,致变因素首先是形容词出现在"却"的前面,其次是N的次类和论元角色变换。此外,对举格式和心理活动中的隐喻或联想也起着作用。

The preposition ＂que＂（却） that introduces into comparative items stemed from later Tang Dynasty. It mainly came from the structure of ＂A ＋que（却）＋N＂. During the progress of its developing into preposition ,the first factor that resulted in preposition is that adjectives locate before ＂que＂（却）.The second factor is the transform of subcategory of N and thematic roles. Further more, symmetry format and the metaphor or association in mental activities also plays important roles.
