“窗户”的词汇化

The Lexicalization of “Chuang Hu”

"窗"、"户"二字在古汉语中是两个可以单独使用、表不同事物的实词。它们在语言演变的进程中在语言内外部因素的影响下,逐渐出现联合的短语形式,并在经历了分指、泛指和偏指的过程之后,由短语转变为双音节复合词,并最终完成词汇化。

In ancient Chinese, ＂Chuan＂ （窗） and＂Hu＂ （户） could be used alone and denoted different things. With the development of the language and effects of internal factors of language, they combined as a phrase. After the progress of di-referential, co-referential and mono-referential, the phrase ＂Chuang Hu＂ （窗户） transformed to the disyllabic phrase and finally completed the lexicalization.
