摘要
本文论述了汉字的基本职能及其变化，认为在本用基础上的兼用和借用扩展了汉字的职能，而异体字分工、母字分化或另造新字可以减轻个体字符的负担，从而缩简汉字的职能，至于汉字职能的转移，则有相互交移和连锁推移两种方式。
By discussing the basic function and development of Chinese characters, the thesis holds that the concurrent and loaned usages increase the functions of characters on the basis of their original usages, whereas the division of variants and original words, and the coinage of new words can lighten the burden on individual characters, which leads to reduce the functions. There are two ways, as for the transformation of the functions, namely, interactive and chain transformations.
