摘要
姓名中"字"在先秦单、双音均可,魏晋以来则只取双音。本文从汉语韵律构词学出发,认为"字"的音节变化是韵律类型变化的结果:先秦属双韵素音步,魏晋为双音节音步。本文进而据"恒定比率说"(Constant Rate Hypothesis)分析"字"音节数量的变化,发现单音节衰亡速率和双音节增长速率,及"字"的音节转变和整体韵律类型变化严格一致。
Adapting the theory of Chinese prosodic morphology, we try to explore how ZI( 字) has changed from monosyllable to disyllable in Chinese history. It is proposed that the change of ZI( 字) from monosyllabic to disyllabic reflects the change of Chinese prosodic structure from mono foot to disyllable foot. According to Kroch's 'constant rate hypothesis', the rate of monosyllable's vanishing is the same as that of disyllable's rising and the time slot of this transformation in number of syllables is also the same as the change of Chinese prosodic structure.
