摘要
语言既随着社会历史的发展变化而变化,又按照其自身的发展规律而发展。因此语言的发展既具有历时性即动态特征,又具有共时性即静态特征。作为语言中最为活跃的因素,词汇在其发展进程中历时性表现尤为明显。从英汉两种语言的词汇发展共性不难看出:历时变化是词汇发展的一个基本特征;词汇发展的历时性特征主要体现在新词的产生、词义的演变以及拼写的变异等方面。
Language develops along with sociohistorical development and also observes its own law. Therefore,the development of a language has the feature of both dynamic diachrony and static synchrony. As the most active part of language , vocabulary best reflects the diachronic characteristics of the language. A contrastive study of English and Chinese lexical development shows that diachrony is one of the basic characteristics of lexical development ,which can be seen from the production of new words,semantic change,spelling variation and so on.
