《型世言》 《儿女英雄传》方位词“左右”计量比较研究

Comparative Study on the Measure of Chinese Character "Zou You" in Xing Shi Yan and The Story of Heroes and Heroines

通过对《型世言》、《儿女英雄传》方位词"左右"的计量对比研究发现,从数量分布上看,《儿女英雄传》占据了绝对的优势,非常接近其在现代汉语中的分布。从功用的角度来看,尽管从明代末期到清代中叶仅仅只有200多年的差距,但"左右"在两书中有着不小的差别:在《型世言》中,"左右"作为方位词,其各种用法才刚刚萌芽,基本上只能单用,作主语、宾语、状语;而"左右"在《儿女英雄传》中,除了单用,还可以与其他词联合成短语,作主语、宾语、状语和定语,与现代汉语的用法基本相仿。

Through the comparative study, it is found that., the number of Chinese phrase ＂zuo you＂ in The Story of Heroes and Heroinesgreatly surpasses that in Xing Shi Yah and approaches its distribution in modern Chinese. And there are differences in terms of word function in the two novels： in Xing, the use of ＂zuo you＂ as a noun of locality is just sprouting, functioning solely as the subject, object and adverbial, while in The Story, the phrase can be made into compound worcl with other characters, much similar to the modern Chinese.
