论“做”、“作”之间的语义用法差别

Research Differences between ＂Zuo（做）＂ and ＂Zuo（作）＂ on Signification and Usage

“做”和“作”在普通话中语音相同,所以常常被混用。其实,它们的基本意义及语义搭配是不同的。“做”是一种处置,“作”是一种创造。“做”后所跟的词语往往是该行为的处置对象或制造物,或者说,在“做”之前已经有了某些对象或原料,然后再去处置加工时就用“做”。至于“作”,则主要表示创造,并进而引申为进行活动、从事劳作、当作等,而不表示对已有事物的处置。“作”后所跟的词语往往是该行为发生后所产生的事物或结果,或者说,“作”后面的东西往往是“作”了之后才有的。我们可以据此来区别它们的用法。
