“令尊”是称人敬辞,通行的解释是“称对方的父亲”,“其前不必加代词”,不然就“失之于叠床架屋”。本文以大量的近代汉语文献材料为依据,论证“令尊”不但用以尊称对方的父亲,也可用以尊称第三者的父亲,“令尊”前面可加第二、第三人称代词。其他令类词语用法同此。 “Respect” is a respectable person, the popular explanation is “to call each other’s father,” “without the previous addition of pronouns,” or else “lost in the bed frame housing.” Based on a large number of modern Chinese literature materials, this article argues that “Lingzun” not only honors each other’s father but also honors the third person’s father. The second and third personal pronouns can be added in front of Lingun. Other words make the same usage.
