偏义复合词“窗户”探源
A Probe into the Origin of the Endocentric Compound “Chuanghu”
-
摘要: “窗户”在成词过程中大致经历了“分指”、“泛指”和“偏指”三个不同阶段。“偏指”的“窗户”产生于宋元之际,明代用例虽有所增加,但有较强的地域限制,清代冲破地域限制,成为现代通用语。Abstract: In the process of its formation, the compound “chuanghu” (window) had experienced three phases: di-referential, co-referential and mono-referential.The mono-referential word “chuanghu” appeared in about Song and Yuan Dynasties. In Ming Dynasty, more examples of such use could be seen, but they were confined geographically. While in Qing Dynasty, such confine no longer existed and the compound had been used universally as a word of modern Chinese.
