从述宾短语到情态副词:“竭诚”的演变及其成因

The Adverb "Jiecheng":Its Lexicalization and the Reason Why It Lexicalized

现代汉语情状副词"竭诚"最早见于汉代,当时它是一个述宾短语,在搭配上有两种情况,一是"竭诚"与其近义短语形成并列结构,二是"竭诚"与其他短语形成连动结构。"竭诚"于北宋开始它的词汇化进程,经过明朝的进一步虚化,到了清朝"竭诚"已经完成了它的词汇化进程,由一个松散的述宾短语变成了一个副词。词汇化的动因和机制上,使用频率、句法位置、语义融合和认知机制是"竭诚"词汇化不可或缺的因素。

In Han dynasty,"Jiecheng" was used as a verb-object construction for the first time. There are two kinds of construction on syntactic collocation: 1. Coordinate Structure "Jie Cheng+ VP1" and 2. Serial verb construction "Jie Cheng +VP2 "."Jie Cheng" began its lexicalization in the Northern Song dynasty and became more like an adverb during the Ming dynasty. Then in the Qing dynasty, it had become a mature adverb and finished its lexicalization from a predicate -object to an adverb. The syntactic position, the semantic integration and the cognitive mechanism are the essential factors for the lexicalization of "Jiecheng".
