Vocabulary Research in "history of the Old Five Dynasties
by Ye Xiaofen
About This Novel
"Research on the Vocabulary of the History of the Five Dynasties" takes the corpus of Xue Juzheng's "History of the Old Five Dynasties" as the main research object, and supplements it with Ouyang Xiu's "The New History of the Five Dynasties". It combines a variety of corpora since the pre-Qin Dynasty, adopts the method of synchronic description and diachronic comparison, and conducts the first tentative exploration of the spoken words, new words and new meanings reflected in the "History of the Old Five Dynasties". While clarifying the vocabulary that reflects the society of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, we also strive to accomplish two things: first, select several groups of semantic field words that reflect short-term, frequency, attack, and escape categories as the main entry point for our research, and explore their development and evolution rules from ancient times to the present; second, combine the theory of phonetic word formation, analyze some monosyllabic words in the history of "Jiu", explore their polyphony and polysemy, and make some tentative efforts for the compilation of dictionaries.
