试论“V在了N”格式的形成与发展

On the Formation and the Development of ＂V-zai-le N＂

本文从历时角度考察“V了在N”到“V在了N”这一变化过程，探讨促发这一历时演变的动因与机制。初步结论是：“V了在N”（明代始现）的“在”为动词；清代开始成规模出现的“V在了N”，是动词“在”虚化的结果。“了”位置的变化，与“在”的词性密切相关。

This paper studies the transformation from ＂V-le-zai-N＂ to ＂V-zai-le N＂diachronicallyand discusses its motivation and mechanism.The tentative conclusion is：emerged in the Ming Dynasty, ＂zai＂ of ＂V-le-zai-N＂is a verb;the large-scale emergence of ＂V-zai-le N＂ in the Qing Dynasty is resulting from the virtuality of＂zai＂.The positional change of＂le＂is closely related to the characteristic of ＂zai＂.
