语言在发展过程中经常会出现一些新的成分或新的用法,于是引起争议。例如“五四”时期曾讨论过“的”的分化问题。当时有三种意见。有人主张三分,即区分“的”“底”和“地”。有人主张二分,即区分“的”和“地”,不采用“底”,让它并入“的”。有人主张一律用“的”。经过实践,证明区分“的”和“底”不切实际,大多数作者区分“的”和“地”,也有人一律用“的”(如老舍)。这件事给我们以下列启示。 第一,语言问题的争议,谁是谁非要由广大群众的言语实践来下结论。 Language in the development process often appears some new ingredients or new usage, so controversial. For example, during the May 4th Movement, the issue of “differentiation” was discussed. There were three opinions at that time. Some people advocate one-third, that is, “bottom” and “ground”. Some people advocate dichotomy, that is, to distinguish between “and” and “not” and “make it”. Some people advocate the use of “all”. After practice, it has been proved unrealistic to distinguish “the” from “the bottom.” Most authors distinguish between “and” “and” and “others” (eg Lao She). This incident gives us the following revelation. First, the dispute over the language issue, whoever is to be concluded by the mass of people’s speech practice.
