Previous studies on Chinese have amply demonstrated that verb compounding in Chinese (in fact, compounding in Chinese in general) was extremely rare in the 7th century B.C. and earlier. In modern day Chinese, however, verb compounding is a very productive word formation process. So far, no definitive hypotheses regarding the rise of this word formation process have been posited and explicated. This study is an attempt to discover motivations for the actuation and development of this exceptionally productive verb compounding word formation process in Chinese. Data collected from extant texts spanning a period of over 2500 years were used in order to address several different hypotheses. Findings include correlations that support hypotheses based on drastic sound simplifications; structural changes which occurred during the 3rd century B.C. through 2nd century A.D.; and semantic change. Talmy's theory of the representation of motion events provided a special set of insights into the nature and development of verb compounding in Chinese. Finally, social changes and borrowings have played a role in fueling the incredibly fast rate at which this word formation process is developing.Subjects--Topical Terms:
