早期汉语造词法新探

早期汉语造词法是指汉语词汇发展的自生阶段的造词法。早期汉语主要造词法除了众所周知的摹声法以外,还有鲜为人知的“摹态法”,就是用嘴唇、舌头等发音器官摹拟事物的外部形态、动作行为、运动变化等(静态和动态),并根据事物的外部形态、动作行为、运动变化等的特征调节发音方法,以及口腔的开闭、嘴唇的圆展、舌位的高低前后等,从而造出许多声母发音部位相同而意义上有联系的词。摹态法有时也和摹声法配合起来使用。

The Newly - Exploration of Early Chinese Word- building

Eary Chinese word-building refers to the word-building on the initial stage of the development of Chi-nese vocabulary. Apart from the "imitating-sounds"(onomatopoeia), which is well known by peole, the eariy mainword-building is "imitating-states", that is to build words by imitating the shapes, movements, and the changesof things, and to adapt pronunciations according to the characteristics of them. By this method people has built a lotof words with the same initials of the syllables and there are relations between the meanings of them, which is rarelyrealized by people. Some times "initiating-states" and "initiating-sounds"are used together.
