This paper investigates the typical non-homogeneous monosyllabic polysemous morphemes in Chinese,and takes the derivative word formation of the lao(老)—family as the starting point to observe the restriction and influence of the two-tone combination on the polysemous morpheme lao(老).The work observes the difference and connection between the polysemous morpheme lao and the affix morpheme lao,and summarize the four situations in which the derived word meaning absorbs and develops the morpheme meaning so as to keep track of the role and value of this type of polysemous morpheme in Chinese word formation,and the development under the influence of structure.
