程度副词“顶”进入现代汉语的过程

The Process of Degree Adverb Ding(顶) Entering Modern Chinese

程度副词"顶"在南宋时期已经产生,经历过元代和明代前期的沉寂以后,在明末开始获得发展,一扫长时期可能只在南方口语中流行的颓势,并且有了向北方渗透的苗头。随着时间的推移,在清末至民国时期,程度副词"顶"获得了很好的发展,到20世纪三、四十年代,它已经完成了进入现代汉语的过程。当然,目前在和"最"的竞争中仍然出于劣势,但是,必须肯定已经进入到现代汉语普通话之中。

Ding（顶）,a degree adverb,was produced in South Song Dynasty,began to be developed in later Ming Dynasty after being unknown to the public in Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty and began to be used in northern mandarin after only being popular among the spoken languages of southern people.With the passing of the time,in later Qing Dynasty and Republic of China,the degree adverb Ding（顶） had been developed very well and completed the process of entering modern Chinese at most later in the 1930s and in the 1940s.Of course,it has certainly been popular in mandarin of modern Chinese though it still stays at disadvantaged position in competition with Zui（最）.
