ABSTRACT

The modern Chinese 'Yi tong' is mainly combined with a negative meaning verb, indicating the meaning of this act and behavior, such as 'act in disorder', and 'The degree of act and behavior is very high'. This function is very unique, but so far there has been little research into its origins. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to identify the formation process of 'Yi tong' and through diachronic investigation, we will grasp the establishment process of 'Yi tong'. As a result of examining the operation pattern of 'Yi tong' 'in modern Chinese (from Tang Dynasty to Qing Dynasty) and Republican China,, it is confirmed that there is no fundamental difference between the ancient Chinese 'Yi tong' and the operation of modern Chinese 'Yi tong'. The first significant change occurred in the Ming Dynasty. It was founded one case of 'quan jie le yi tong(勸解 了一通)' in corpus of Ming dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the verbs that combine with 'Tong' are more diversified and combined with verbs such as 'shuo(說)ㆍkan(看)ㆍsou jian(搜r檢)ㆍtang lan(蕩瀾)ㆍkouj ue(口角)'. In Republican China, significant changes have occurred in comparison with modern Chinese. First, 'Yi tong' is a combination of passive verbs such as 'he chi ze ma(呵斥責罵)ㆍhe chi(喝斥)ㆍchi ze(斥責)' This is in full agreement with the usage of contemporary Chinese 'Yi tong'. Second, when the verb of neutral meaning such as 'mouhua(謀劃)ㆍchi(吃)ㆍhe(喝)' is combined with 'Yi tong', it has the function of forming negative meaning. Through these Investigations, this study concluded that The usage of "Yitong" in today began to develop in the Qing Dynasty, activated in the Republic of China and completed in contemporary Chinese.
