Aside from this, an explanation is added that the 100 words in the Swadesh list are not identical in nature, and therefore share little in common.

Based on the analysis of a great number of language data, the present paper points out that Jibenshang(基本上) can collocate with adverb Dou (都) and the like, and Jibenshang Dou(基本上都) is the commonest collocation. In the beginning, these two adverbs in the collocation had different semantic functions: Jibenshang(基本上) denoted scope, and Dou (都) denoted degree. Influenced by factors like meaning, syntax, frequency and language use, they are neutralized semantically, and this collocation gradually evolved into an structure to express extreme quantity vaguely, though their primitive functions in this collocation can still be found today. The collocation seems to be intra-contradictory, but it actually shows an aspect of the speaker's psychology of pursuing stability and perfection.

现代汉语接入语"是的"源于近代汉语具有确认事件义的"X是的"判断句中的"是的".接入语"是的"在近代汉语中的形成过程具有瞬时性,这一过程不宜解释为语用化过程,而应解释为征派过程.Mandarin thetical shide(是的) comes from the "shide" in the event-confir- ming copulative construction "X shide" in Pre-Modern Chinese. Its formation is a simulta- neous process, which should not be construed as pragmaticalization, but as cooptation.

In terms of grammatical features,the adverb 'conglai(从来)' in Contemporary Chinese is different from that of Middle Chinese and Modern Chinese.'Conglai(从来)' is often placed at the beginning of the sentence in Middle and Modern Chinese,but between the subject and the predicate in Contemporary Chinese;there is no obvious tendency in both the affirmative and negative usage of 'conglai(从来)' in Middle Chinese and Modern Chinese, but it is mainly used in negative sentences in Contemporary Chinese;when used in affirmative sentences,there are seldom adverbs for emphasis between 'conglai(从来)' and the predicate in Middle Chinese and Modern Chinese,but those adverbs are needed in Contemporary Chinese.In the paper,the causes of these phenomena are also discussed.

摘要:
Ge(各) is a special demonstrative pronoun in normal usage of Chinese, except for its noun usage as surnames. No matter which place it appears in a sentence, it plays the role of demonstrative function. This paper reviewed the usage of Ge(各) thoroughly. From the phenomena "the latter one's control towards the former one", "the former one's control towards the latter one" and "the mutual control of the former and the latter ones" existing in the co-occurrence of two or more Ge(各), and some other verification from writings in the vernacular and classical Chinese, it is proved that Ge(各) should be judged as demonstrative pronoun uniformly. In the 5th and 6th edition of The Dictionary of Modern Chinese(现代汉语词典), which have been tagged the part of speech of words formally, Ge(各) used before verbs were both treated as an adverb, which is improper.
