试探副词“很”和语法格式“A得很”的来源

A tentative study of the adverb hěn in the Chinese language

程度副词“很”不是从形容词“很”虚化而来的 ,而是替代的元代时期新出现的副词“哏” ,从方言与普通话的关系的角度来看 ,语法格式“A得很”不是普通话的固有格式 。

The adverb' hěn '(very,quite,awfully)in Chinese is not derived from adjective ' hěn '.It is used as an alternative of the adverb ' gén ' which was used in the Yuan Dynasty.Judging from the relation between Putonghua (common speech with standard Chinese pronounciation)and dialects,' hěn 'used in the present-day Putonghua may have come from a kind of dialect.
