"And" in modern Chinese, both for reasonably, conjunction phrase, and also for discourse markers, and the application in the language is very extensive. "Also" and "have" appears the earliest application is in the eastern han dynasty, the peace in the sentence, can make predicate pick a noun or noun phrase, adverb "is" modify verbs, such as the shape of combination of structure is loose. After the tang and song dynasties, such not only can increase gradually, pick a noun or noun phrase, as "still + NP", or there is still + NP ", also can connect "NP + vp", "and" decorate after little words. Arrived at the end of the yuan Ming, "and" appeared in several nominal element, constitutes the entire sentence structure, the combination of not doing just play connection function predicate the usage of vocabulary, guo structure through development for the conjunction. After the Ming and qing dynasties, also appeared to connect the usage, sentence or clauses "and" conjunction usage are widely accepted. As a language evolving, modern, conjunction "and" further falsified, often appear in the sentence first, do not affect the true value of the sentence, only express the relationship between concepts or proposition, coherent, tip context, emotions, has been derived discourse markers. "And", as the discourse markers, function is very rich, is open and topic, delaying functions, emphasize, supplement etc. Function."And" by the shape of development for the conjunction phrase is a span of structure, and the process from vocabulary for discourse markers conjunction evolution process of grammaticalization is. We think "and" the motivation is to use words of high frequency. The adverb "is" and verb "have" often appear in the adjacent position, in using language is often repeated that eventually falsified into conjunction. "And" lexicalization mechanism is back analysis. Infrequently-used phrase "and" take an DongBin structure through to analysis, and ACTS as the subject structure is paratactic structure, "and" is derived for the conjunction. "There" is by the conjunction phrase "and said," there, in the context of information communication under the influence of the factors such as to cause "through" and "have" the boundary between the fixed and disappeared. "There" is one of the causes of the context. Conjunction "and" significance for further falsified, evolution, in other words markers in just plays express emotion or attitude, often appear in the sentence, do not affect the true value.And, in the process of the evolution of "and", and not after the appearance of a former phenomenon accompanied the disappear, but some phenomena, the phrase "and" and "and" includes predictions appeared after the modern discourse markers "and" is also exists in the language communication. This phenomenon is language evolution coexist with the normal phenomenon, grammaticalization law of development and trends.Again, also the adverb "frequency," and "is synonymous language, in the development of adverb, they have" and "(all different levels of evolution happened. "And", in the later, the sentences in others, not connected to other components of the sentence, then after small words or sentences, sentence first used in conjunction, tied for the role. But, "and" connect only small words or sentences, can't connect a noun or noun phrase, adjectives to describe or nominal phrases. "Have" in "also have... have..." When the play list (effect, but also has "single or guo, occasionally also play phrase sentence tone, strengthen the credibility of the sentence. In other words, "have" grammaticalization although began in qing dynasty, but the process is slow, and according to the investigation of corpus, modern "have" the strengthening of no use sentences tone, grammatical processes appear halted, this is also the linguistic phenomenon of fault. "No", and "and" grammaticalization grammaticalization most parallels between the grammaticalization, roughly the same time, but "no" in the qing dynasty have two different usage, one kind is used in the sentence, adverbs, predicate verbs or continue to repeat. Turn the "meaning". Another kind of usage and "and", can connect a noun or noun phrase, sentence or other small. Different is "no" cannot connect adjectives to describe or nominal phrases. In modern Chinese, "meaning" adverbs have the basic disappears, leaving behind only infrequently-used phrase connection usage and usage. And, for a single connection meaning added effect.
