汉语双音介词“自于”的多角度研究

The Multi-angle Study of Chinese Disyllabic Preposition “Ziyu”

"自于"在上古汉语时期为动介结构,五代时期在语义融合性、双音化和韵律制约、语言的经济性和语用因素的动因下演化为双音介词,但其作为动介结构在现代汉语中仍有残留。古代汉语中"自于"有三层意义:"从/由""在""来源义";现代汉语中"自于"有四层意义:"从/由""来自""由于""在"。其介引对象从古代汉语到现代汉语均以名词和代词体词性成分为主。

“Ziyu” is a verb-mediation structure in ancient Chinese. It evolved into a double-syllable preposition in the Five Dynasties Period due to the motivation of semantic fusion, disyllabic and prosodic constraints, language economy and pragmatic factors. However, it still remains as a verb-mediation structure in modern Chinese. Semantically, there are three meanings of “Ziyu”in ancient Chinese:“cong/you”“zai”and “derivation”;in modern Chinese,“Ziyu”has four meanings:“cong/you”“laizi”“youyu”and “zai”. From ancient Chinese to modern Chinese, nouns and pronouns are the main referral component.
