현대중국어 근거 표시 전치사의 특징 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to outweigh the features of Chinese prepositions, express the concept of evidence or ground (‘evidential prepositions’ henceforth), and to draw out information for the acquisition and teaching of Chinese evidential prepositions through a corpus based analysis. Because the range of concepts represented by prepositions is far below the number of prepositions, Chinese has a number of near- synonymous prepositions. This paper is formed by following discussions: (1) to examine the reason why evidential preposition group has a large quantity of members; because of this, evidential prepositions are more flexible in being used as other word;. and the concept ‘evidence’, which includes other concepts such as methods and directions will also be mentioned; (2) to analyze the frequency of evidential prepositions used not only as prepositions but also other words, and to analyze the ratio of usage of evidential preposition; (3) to illustrate the mechanism of the function of ‘-zhe’ forms.
