中古汉语词汇词义在河西方言中的发展

The Evolvement of Middle Ancient Chinese Vocabulary and Lexical Meaningin Hexi Dialects

古汉语研究与现代方言相结合,是汉语史研究的基本方法,不但语音史的研究如此,词汇史的研究也概莫能外。中古汉语词汇词义在甘肃河西走廊各地市方言中的发展,与汉语史词汇系统的演变规律相一致:体现了语言的连续性和变异性;单音词复音化过程中派生词与同义连用现象非常突出,且复音词以联合式、偏正式为主;词义的引申导致了词义的缩小与转移。

The combination of ancient Chinese research and modern dialects is the basic method for the study of Chinese language history,which can be applied to the study on the history of pronunciation as well as the history of vocabulary.The evolvement of middle ancient Chinese vocabulary and the lexical meanings of the dialects in Hexi corridor is consistent with that of Chinese lexical system,which reflects the continuity and variability of language.The phenomenon of the concurrences of derivatives and synonyms in the process of disyllabic monosyllables is very prominent,and the disyllabic words are mainly coordinative disyllabic words and modifying disyllabic words.The extension of lexical meanings results in their reduction and transference.
