双音化、语法化和韵律词的再分析

Disyllabification, Grammaticalizationand the Analyse about Prosodic Word

就本质上说,"双音化"指的是两个音节构成基本韵律单元(音步)的倾向。双音节韵律单元运作的结果,既有"融合"的一面,也有"分化"的一面。前者导致汉语双音词的大量出现,后者导致汉语功能性成分的产生。功能性成分具有独立性,在语言使用中只可能同搭配的词"共现",不可能"融合"为一个单位,不属于"韵律词"的范畴,而这正是汉语中始终存在相当数量的单音节词的原因之一。

The disyllabification, in essence, the tendensy of having two syllables as a prosodic unit, its result is fusion or division. As a result of fusion two monosyllables in a foot fused into a complex word, and as a result of division a prosodic unit divided into two syntax units (a content word and a function word ). A function word is independent, in utterance, it only cooccurs with another monosyllable in a foot, and they can't fused into a complex word, so this disyllabic form isn't a prosodic word.It is the cause that there are a number of monosyllables continuously in Chinese.
