Research on the Semantic Change of“Lian”and“Mian”

近年来,关于人体词的研究,已经成为语言学领域的热点,"脸"与"面"是人体词中比较有代表性的高频词汇。按照"隋唐以前""、隋唐五代"和"宋元明清"三个时期进行梳理,发现"脸"与"面"这组人体词语的词义随着历史的演进发生了系列演变。找寻"脸"与"面"两者的替代规律以及发展脉络,探究两者的演变过程,将有助于汉语史人体词汇发展的研究。

Research on body terms has turned to be a hot topic in the field of linguistics. ＂Lian＂ and ＂mian＂ are typical high-frequency words expressing human body in Chinese language. The sorting out of body terms on the basis of those in the periods before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the periods of ＂the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties＂, as well as the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties＇shows that there have been series of semantic change of ＂lian＂ and ＂mian＂ with historical evolution. The research on the substitution law and development trace of the two terms contributes to the development of body words in the history of Chinese language.
