-
摘要: 通过考察汉语身体量词在上古、中古、近代和现代四个时期的文献用例,对其发展演变进行分析,得出其演变的动因不仅和汉语自身双音节化的趋势有关,而且和遵循语言准确性及经济性原则也有关系。Abstract: Through the examining the examples of body quantifiers in the literature of far ancient, mid-ancient, near ancient and modern times, this paper has made an analysis of their evolution and come to a conclusion that the motivation of their evolution is related not only to the tendency of the bi-syllabification of Chinese words, but to the sticking to the principles of exactness and economy.
