“福气多多”、“受益多多”一类的四字格近年来引起一些讨论,我们认为有些结论值得商榷。考察44个有代表性的常用形容词自先秦至现当代(包括方言)用于四字格的情况,我们发现:“××AA”四字格出现于上古,唐宋达到高峰,此后,这种格式整体上处于萎缩状态,但每个形容词所构成的四字格以及它们在南北方言中的萎缩速度又是不平衡的,有的还出现了反复。因此,仅据当代汉语的情况来判断“××多多”不合规范是缺乏说服力的。 “Four Blessings” and “Many Benefits” have drawn some discussions in recent years. We think some conclusions are debatable. Examining 44 representative and commonly used adjectives from the pre-Qin to modern times (including dialects) for four-character cases, we find that the four-character lattice of “XX AA” appeared in the Middle Ages and peaked in the Tang and Song dynasties. Since then, As a whole, the format is in a state of decline. However, the four-character structure formed by each adjective and its rate of decline in the North and South dialects are again unbalanced, and some appear to be repeated. Therefore, it is not persuasive to judge the “XXX multiple” irregularities based solely on the current situation in contemporary Chinese.
