摘 要
语法化现象作为语言演变的重要机制,在汉语历史发展中具有显著表现。本研究基于大量语料分析,探讨了汉语中虚词、助词及句法结构的语法化过程,旨在揭示汉语语法系统演化的内在规律及其动因。通过历时比较与共时分析相结合的方法,重点考察了从上古汉语到现代汉语的关键转变阶段,特别是词汇意义向语法功能转化的具体路径。研究表明,汉语中的语法化现象呈现出层次分明的特点,如介词、助词等虚词的形成多源于实词的功能化和抽象化,而句法结构的简化则反映了语言经济性原则的作用。本研究创新性地引入了认知语言学视角,结合语用因素对语法化路径进行解释,发现语境依赖性和使用频率是推动语法化的核心动力。这一成果为相关领域的跨语言对比研究提供了重要参考,尤其是在东亚语言圈内的语法演变规律探索方面具有重要意义。

Abstract
Grammaticalization, as an important mechanism of language evolution, plays a significant role in the historical development of Chinese. Based on a large amount of corpus analysis, this study explores the grammaticization process of function words, auxiliary words and syntactic structures in Chinese, aiming to reveal the internal laws and causes of the evolution of Chinese grammatical system. Through the method of diachronic comparison and synchronic analysis, this paper focuses on the key transition stage from ancient Chinese to modern Chinese, especially the specific path of lexical meaning to grammatical function. The research shows that the grammatization phenomenon in Chinese presents distinct hierarchical characteristics. For example, the formation of function words such as prepositions and auxiliary words is mainly due to the functionalization and abstraction of content words, while the simplification of syntactic structure reflects the function of economic principles of language. This study innovatively introduces the cognitive linguistics perspective and combines pragmatic factors to explain the grammarization path. It is found that context dependence and frequency of use are the core driving forces to promote grammarization. This result provides an important reference for cross-language contrastive research in related fields, especially in the exploration of grammatical evolution in the East Asian linguistic circle.
