汉语“中”的形态句法演化探究

Study on the Evolution of the Morphological Syntax of“Zhong”(中)in Chinese

运用共时和历时相结合的方法,讨论了“中”与名词相组合的两种语序,跨范畴之间的语序和谐使得“名词+中”成为优势语序,主要是由汉语语法系统内部结构的平衡性所决定的,“中”的形态句法演化路径为:普通名词→方位名词(前置→后置)→体助词(体标记)。

The method combining synchronic and diachronic is used to discuss two kinds of word orders of“Zhong”(中)with nouns.The harmony of word orders cross-categories develops“noun+Zhong”(中)into a dominant word order,which is mainly caused by the balance of internal structure of Chinese grammar system.The morphosyntax evolution path of“Zhong”(中)can be expressed as:common nouns→locative nouns(“Zhong”(中)+N→N+“Zhong”(中))→aspectual auxiliary(aspectual marker).
