The new modern Chinese preposition refers to new preposition in Chinese history,it's also about new Chinese functions.It mainly includes“Ai(?)?Tie(?)?Deng(?)?Bang(?)?Jiang(?)?Kan(?)?Zou(?)?Ben(?)?Guan(?)?Zhao(?)?Ge(?)?Chao(?)?Gei(?)?Jiu(?)?Ping(?)”.This paper analyzed their grammaticalization from the diachronic perspective,and summarized their paths,motivation and mechanism.It concludes five chapters:The first chapter is introduction.In this pary,we introduced the definition of the study object.We,meanwhile,summarized the research situation about it.The predecessors' research results give rise to our thinking for the source of new modern Chinese preposition,and we summarized two semantic evolution models.One part is from the verb,such as Bang(?)?Jiang(?)?Kan(?),another is from the preposition,such as Chao(?)?Jiu(?)?Ping(?).In the second chapter,we talked about the semantic origin of some new preposition.They are divided into two categories according to how many function they have: One of them has only one preposition function,The other kind have a variety of preposition functions.Then,in the third chapter,we discusses the new functions of prepositions in modern Chinese.The new preposition function basically comes from the expansion of the original preposition function.In the fourth part,we analyzed the discrimination standard,evolution path,mechanism and motivation of modern Chinese new preposition.The evolution path of new prepositions in modern Chinese is not only inherited from the past,but also has a new evolutionary path.The fifth part is the conclusion part.We summarized the evolution path and rule of modern Chinese new preposition,and made a forecast of the future development trend.
