The apodosis markers in middle ancient Chinese conditionals are abundant.The seven common apodosis markers"nai(乃),ji(即),bi(必),zhe(辄),bian(便),dang(当),jie(皆)"differ greatly in their syntactic functions and semantic features in conditionals.This shows that there is also an interactive relationship between apodosis markers and conditionals.There was a positive correlation between the cohesive function of apodosis markers and the degree of integration between conditional clauses deep in linguistics,and form a functional continuum of"[皆>便>辄]>[当/必/即/乃]".The subjectivity of apodosis markers is closely related to the semantic levels in conditional clause linkage.The conditionals with these apodosis markers are mainly distributed in the situation level and judge level with lower subjectivity.And this markers form a subjectivity continuum of"必,当>乃>皆,便>辄,即".
