【摘要】 一般认为转折连词"然而"由"然"和"而"两个同义转折连词复合而成,还有观点认为转折连词"然"产生于"然而"、"虽然"之后。考察转折连词"然"和"然而"的形成时间及来源,转折连词"然"的产生不晚于"然而";先秦存在大量"然(代词)+而(连词)"这个跨层组合的语言事实,根据关联向对复合连词结构制约的规律,可见转折连词"然而"不是并列式复合词,其来源只可能是前面所述的跨层组合"然而"。更多还原

【Abstract】 Adversative conjunctions "ran er" is generally regarded as a compound of two synonymous adversative conjunctions of "ran" and "er",but some believe that "ran" emerges after "ran er" and "sui ran".Through a discussion about the date and the origin of the formation of "ran" and "ran er",this article holds that "ran" emerges no later than "ran er" and,based on the existence of a large amount of language evidence of "ran(pronoun) + er(conjunction)" trans-level combination before the Qin Dynasty,proves in the light of the rule of correlation conditioning compound conjunctions that adversative conjunction "ran er" is not a coordinate compound and its origin is the trans-level combination "ran er".更多还原
