The Lexicalization of the Manner Adverb "Yiju(一举)" and its Motivation and Mechanism
The manner adverb"Yiju"in modern Chinese is derived from the lexicalization of a verb-adverbial structure composed of the numeral"Yi"plus verb"ju".Verb-adverbial phrase"Yiju"is less self-sufficient,and of-ten constitutes"Yiju VP"to explain the result or influence of"Yiju".This structure is a sub-typical serial verb construction,which is located in the intersection zone of serial verb construction and verb-adverbial construction.In this syntactic and semantic environment,"Yiju"has a tendency to become virtual.In the Yuan and Ming Dynas-ty,manner adverb"Yiju"was formed and then matured in modern times.In this diachronic evolution process,the semantic basis,syntactic position,prosodic factors and subjective promotion of"Yiju"are the motivation of its lexicalization,and reanalysis and context absorption are the mechanism of its lexicalization.
