Research on the Diachronic Evolution of"Po b"Words—A Case Study of"Po"
According to the principle of the identity of ancient Chinese words,this paper discusses the dichotomy of the internal identity of"Po"words("破"类词语)."Po"(破)is a typical member of the word family of"Po b".In terms of syntax,the structural sentence patterns of"Po"in ancient Chinese mainly include SVO,SV(non-passive),SV(passive),V1 V2(O)(serial verb construction),VC(O)(verb-resultative construction)and VO(attributive structure)."Po"generally presents a trend of automation.In terms of semantic features,due to the increase of the relative proportion of the ornament"Po"and the decline of the resultative V Po construction,the[+trait]semantic feature of"Po"has an obvious trend of prominence,while the[+action]semantic feature has gradually weakened,and the[+causative]semantic feature has also been transferred.
