常用词“追、逐”之演变研究

Study on the Diachronic Substitution of Zhui and Zhu

表示"追逐、追赶"这一义位,先秦主要用单音词"追"、"逐"来表示,"追"、"逐"在用法上存在一些差异。西汉时,"追"在文献中数量大增,且用法灵活,口语中"追"已经开始了对"逐"的替换。历经魏晋南北朝的演变,最晚南朝梁时,口语中常用词"追"实现了对"逐"的替换。

Zhui and Zhu was mainly used for expressing the meaning ＂chase after;catch up with＂ in pre-Qin Dynasty and there is a subtle discrepancy in theirs usage.Since the Western Han Dynasty,Zhui had increased sharply in quantity and it was used freely and Zhui began to replace Zhu in the spoken language.After the long evolution from the period of Weijin Dynasty,South and North Dynasty,Zhui had substituted completely Zhu in the spoken language not later than the Liang Dynasty of Southern Dynasties.
