The paper studies the grammar category of compound successive conjunctions,discussing the differences of words of this grammar category and origin, themotivation that makes these words grammaticalize. And then this paper studies somewords should have belonged to compound successive conjunctions quit from it. Thecontents are following.Summarize the formal researching findings of the compound successiveconjunctions. With the help of some grammar category, finding out it is still emptythat the research on in-out the grammar category. This paper is aiming to fill the blankresearch. In addition, the paper also discusses and affirms the scope of compoundconjunctions.Discuss the compound successive conjunctions of different history period andsummarize their concrete uses. Then, compare the uses of all the compoundsuccessive conjunctions from synchronic point. The compound conjunctions can beclassified as two types: time succession and affair succession. The time succession ofthe compound successive conjunctions can be distinguished from linking objects,semantic differences, linking functions, objects and positions.Discusses the origin of and virtual trajectory the compound successiveconjunctions and the motivation that makes these words grammaticalize. The mainorigins of the compound successive conjunctions are Prepositional structure, theorientation phrases, referring adverbs, resultative construction, cross-layer structure,and word formation by analogy. The motivation of emptiness is syntax, lexicalizationand grammaticalization.In the process of discussing of disappearing reasons of “ernai, conger”, this paperpreliminarily holds that the frequency, lexicalization degree of words and thefrequency of words with the same function and the uses of newly produced grammarfunctions of original words can influence the process of developing and disappearingof one word.
