“些类词”的历史流变及相关问题

On the Diachronic Evolution and Related Issues of the Word Class “Xie(些) ”

"些类词"在不同时期有不同的表现,这既是语言历史发展的结果,又受到词缀"子""个""儿"自身的使用情况以及文献的方言背景、语言节奏等因素的制约。现代汉语里"些"仍大量使用,但其意义已由早期的表示少量转变为表示"不定的量"。"些些""些子""些个""些儿"等词在现代汉语中已基本不再使用,这与"些"的中性化倾向和程度有关。

There are a group of 'the word class xie(些)' such as xie(些), xiexie(些些), xiezi(些子), xier(些儿), xiege(些个), xiexiezi(些些子), xiezir(些子儿) and xierge(些儿个), etc., which mean a little bit in modern Chinese. A series of factors given rise to the different word-formations in different periods, including diachronic language change, the distribution of the suffix zi(子), ge(个), and er(儿), the attributes of dialect literatures, and Chinese prosody. Xie(些) continues to be used in contemporary Chinese, but its meaning has changed, serving as uncertainty. In contemporary Chinese, such words as xiexie(些些), xiezi(些子), xier(些儿), xiege(些个) are already disappeared. The main reason for the disappearance is the neutralization of those words.
