“Bao Buzhu”, Lexicalization, Evolvement mechanismAbstract
The first appearance of “Bao Buzhu” was at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, “Bao Buzhu”, as a verb phrase, acted as predicate element in a sentence. At Qing Dynasty, “Bao Buzhu” still be a verb phrase, at this moment, “Bao Buzhu” [+hope] semanteme disappeared; The next evolution of “Bao Buzhu” was from verb phrase to an adverb, when Qing Dynasty ended and the Republic of China began, this usage became popular, and it means speculation. From Yuan Dynasty to now, because of the usage of verb phrase become popular, “Bao Buzhu” had become a verb right now. We think the evolve reason of “Bao Buzhu” is the change of syntactic structure, frequency of utilization, reanalyze, semantic grammaticalization and the effect of language environment.
