平行法则:早期上古汉语中“者”的出现

Parallelism in linguistic——A Case Study on the Emergence of“Zhě”in Early Archaic-Chinese

文章为覆盖前期上古汉语Pre-archaic Chinese(公元前14世纪至公元前11世纪)与早期上古汉语Earlyarchaic Chinese(公元前11世纪至公元前6世纪)的历时性研究①,目的在于更好地揭示早期上古时代所出现的"者"之功用。研究表明,"者"的功能与前期上古所出现的"之"的功能间存在着"平行对应"关系,我们将此关系定义为"平行法"机制,此机制从属于"类比"。存在于"之"与"者"之间的"平行法"机制可能促使了"者"的功能的涌现。

The objective of this paper is to describe diachronic researc archaic （14th - 11th century BC） and Early-archaic Chinese （11th - 6th covering the period between Pre- centu better understanding of the origin and the development of the functions of ry BC）. It aims at providing a ＂zhe＂ as it appeared in Early- archaic Chinese. As a result of this research, we estimate that the multiple functions of ＂zhe＂ were in parallel with the functions of ＂zhi＂ that emerged in the Pre-archaic Chinese and get developed during the Early-archaic Chinese times. Hence, we think that the parallelism belongs to the scope of＂analogy＂. And this could be a mechanism conducting the emergence and development of ＂zhe＂,manifesting the correlative features with that of ＂zhi＂.
