【摘要】 本文探讨汉语空间量构式的历时变化,注意到:1)上古、中古汉语只有(A)"形+数量"没有(B)"数量+形";B式初见于唐诗,大多还可以看作连谓结构,同时已发展为典型的空间量构式;宋元明清时期B式进一步发展,A式逐渐萎缩。2)典型的B式是名词性偏正结构,是通过重新分析从唐诗中糅合的连谓结构语法化而来。3)B式能够语法化并最终趋于取代A式,与相关构式(数量名结构、平比句)历史演变的类推有关。更多还原

【Abstract】 In pre-Qin and medieval Chinese language, the measurement construction was structured as "adjective (adj) + number (num) + measure word (MW)" (Structure A). Another form, "num + MW + adj" (Structure B), was found in Tang poetry and continued to develop in the subsequent Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties; meanwhile, Structure A gradually disappeared. The typical Structure B is a nominal phrase, which developed from the serial predicate construction in Tang poetry through reanalysis. The grammaticalization and increased prevalence of Structure B over Structure A are analogous to the historical change of relevant constructions like "num + MW + noun" and its comparative construction.更多还原
