Abstract:
There is general agreement that, in some contexts, the Old Chinese (OC) particle yān 焉 behaves semantically and syntactically in a manner similar to a prepositional phrase (PP) consisting of the preposition yú 於 and a third-person pronoun (3pp) (Yang Bojun and He Leshi 1992, 19–20; Pulleyblank 1995, 80–81). This was first clearly stated by Kennedy (1940a; 1940b; 1953), who additionally noted that, in two of the three Middle Chinese (MC) readings for yān 焉, the initial (ʔ- 影) is the same as that of the preposition yú 於. Kennedy saw that this syntactic and semantic equivalence with a PP was the result of a diachronic process that reduced the bisyllabic PP to a monosyllabic "fusion word". Kennedy was writing before the growth of a substantial literature on grammaticalization in the 80s and 90s (Hopper and Traugott 1993). We can now describe the origins of yān 焉 in terms of irregular (i.e. lexically specific) phonological reduction concomitant with grammaticalization. The issue of which 3pp was the second ...
