汉语名物化问题的历时考察

谓词性主宾语句在甲骨文中已经出现，但当时能够用作主宾语的限于动词，形容词的这一用法出现得相对较晚。先秦时期谓词性主宾语句已基本定型，现代汉语谓词性主宾语句中的判断词“是”、明示动词、形式动词以及大部分终始动词在先秦汉语中都没有出现。据粗略考察，在谓词性主宾语句中，“是”出现于汉末，但唐宋时它才被大量使用，主要的明示动词、形式动词以及终始动词一直到晚清、民国时才大量出现。

Diachronic Investigation into the Problem of Nominalization in Chinese

Verbal subject sentences and verbal object sentences can be seen in the oldest Jiaguwen we have found, yet at that time what could be used as subjects and objects were limited to verbs, and the use of adjectives emerged rel-atively late. The basic form of Verbal subject sentences and verbal object sentences was finalized in the pre-Qin times. The copula “shi”, ostension verbs, form verbs and most of the circulates verbs, which used in modern Verbal subject sen-tences and verbal object sentences, did not emerged in the pre-Qin times. Based on rough investigations of verbal subject sentences and verbal object sentences, “shi” emerged in the late Han Dynasty and was widely used in Tang and Song Dynasties. Main ostension verbs, form verbs and circulates verbs did not emerge in quantity until the late Qing Dynasty and the governing of the Kuomintang.
