现代汉语时间系统研究综述

An Overview of Studies of Modern Chinese Temporal System

有关汉语时间系统的研究从上世纪三、四十年代开始,经过八十多年的发展,受到了越来越多学者的关注。研究的内容从时间概念的有无之争转向了对各个功能实现方式及功能之间相互联系方式的研究。研究结果具有更强的解释力,系统性也不断增强。但是由于所用标准不同,研究的角度和侧重点各异,不同学者对汉语时间系统的理解不尽相同。文章将分别从时体、时制、时相、时间词等方面着手,对前人在汉语时间系统领域所做的研究作一简单概述,以期为汉语时间系统的全面而一体化的研究有所启示。

The study of modern Chinese temporal system,which can be traced back to 1930s,is receiving attention from more and more scholars.The focus of research has transformed from the existence of temporal concepts in Chinese to the realizations of temporal meaning and their relationship.The research tends to be more systematic and justifies a wider range of language phenomena.However,as a result of diversified research angles and emphases,the study of modern Chinese temporal system takes on an inconsistent scenario.This paper attempts to make a generalization of the studies in this area from the perspectives of tense,aspect,phase,temporal words,etc.in the hope of shedding some light for the construction of a complete and consistent modern Chinese temporal system.
