汉语被动句主语的生命度历时考察

摘要

通过历时考察发现，汉语被动句主语的生命度也是有一个发展的过程，从远古开始，汉语被动句主语一直有表示物的，只是现代汉语的比例更高一些。所以，汉语被动句主语的生命度下降也是汉语自身发展的结果，不属于“外国语迹象”，不是欧化语法现象。%Diachronically, the animacy of the subject of a Chinese passive sentence is an evolving process. In ancient times, the subject of a Chinese passive sentence could signify an object and this phenomenon was only more popular than it is in modern Chinese. Therefore, the decline in the animacy of the Chinese passive sentence subject is a result of the evolution of Chinese, but not a sign of foreign languages or Europeanized grammatical phenomenon.
