摘要
这篇文章提出早期汉语是多音节词语言。文章以《尔雅》词汇为材料,区分前2篇普通词汇和后16篇的名物词,阐释名物词具有类属专有名词性质。又通过词形结构分类,比较和统计名物词的被释词和训释词数据,证明名物词较强的抗演化能力,是早期汉语在单音节化过程中保留下来的多音节词。
This paper tries, by discussion of nouns( 名物词),to prove that Chinese was once a multisyllabic-word language early before the pre-Qin period or the Shang dynasty. The paper takes vocabulary of ErYa(《尔雅》) as investigation objects, and differentiates nouns of latter 16 volumes from common words of the first 2 volumes by explaining nouns as a kind of group proper nouns(类属专有名词). Furthermore, by comparison and statistics on data of lexemes(被释词) and glosses(训释词),nouns have been proved being stronger on anti-changeable capacity, and most of them survives as polysyllabic words through the trends of the mono-syllabisation of old Chinese words.
