一王念孙父子在他们的著作里曾不止一次地强调指出:“古人自有复语。”(见《读书杂志》卷三之四、三之五、四之九、七之四、八之六,《经义述闻》卷九、十五、三十一、三十二、《经传释词》卷五等处)他们所说的“复语”,指的是古汉语中的那种“平列二字、上下同义”的语言单位,其实也就是由两个意义相同或相近的词根并列在一起而构成的复合词。 In his book, Wang Wang Sun and his son emphasized more than once that “the ancients have their own complex language.” (See Volumes 3, 4, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 6 of Reading Magazine, “Jingyi Smells” Volumes IX, XVIII, XXXVI, XXVII, “Biography of Ci” volume five, etc.) What they mean by “complex language” refers to the kind of “ Column two words, up and down synonymous ”language unit, in fact, is composed of two similar or similar root together and form the compound word.
