“一直以来”是现代汉语中新出现的短语,本文从句法、语义、语用等角度论证其合法地位。历时地看,“一直以来”处在“X以来”格式和“一直”两条语法化链的交叉点上,它的产生是两方面动因共同作用的结果。共时地看,“一直以来”通过对时间持续性状的凸显,可以传递“该动作或状态持续了很长时间”的会话隐涵义。 “Always” is a new phrase in modern Chinese. This paper demonstrates its legal status from the perspective of syntax, semantics and pragmatics. From time to time, it has been “at all times” at the intersection of the two grammatical chains of the “X” format and the “always” one, and its production is the result of a combination of motives on both sides. From a synchronic perspective, “always” through the prominence of the persistent trait of time can convey the implied meaning of the conversation that “the action or state lasts for a long time”.
