清末民初新词语研究

Research on Neologism Between the Late Qing and Early Republic of China

清末民初是汉语发展史上近代汉语与现代汉语的过渡阶段,了解和把握这一阶段的语言及其发展变化,对于理清现代汉语发展变化的线索或者是搞清某些形式及用法的来龙去脉都有很大的帮助,但是,以此期语言为研究对象的专著及文章数量极其有限。研究这一特殊时期的语言,词汇是一个很好的切入点,研究既要从词汇全貌出发还要有具体剖析,新词语是这一时期特有的,是与前后两个时代相区别的标志,该文就如何对清末民初的新词语进行研究做了详细探讨。

The period between the late Qing and early Republic of China marks a linguistic transition from modern Chinese to contemporary Chinese. The study of linguistic development during this period will greatly help researchers to clarify the features of contemporary Chinese development or the contexts of some language forms and usages, whereas the fact is that few relevant writings or researches are conduc- ted. Vocabulary is an ideal starting point to research into the Chinese language in this specific period. The current study covers a general word investigation as well as a specific analysis. Some newly oc- curred words that present the historical peculiarity of this period of time distinguish modern Chinese from contemporary Chinese form. This paper studies fully the neologism between the late Qing and ear- ly Republic of China.
