摘要
现代汉语中“为此”有介词短语和连词两种用法。上古时期，“为此”最初用作动词短语，后来出现了介词短语的用法。唐宋时期，一部分介词短语开始向连词虚化，到元明清时期，虚化成了连词。语义特征和句法环境，是促使“为此”语法化的两个重要因素。现代汉语的连词“为此”地位弱小，但语法化程度已有所发展。
In modern Chinese, wèicǐ(为此) is a prepositional phrase as well as a conjunction. The prepositional phrase wèicǐ developed from a verbal phrase in early ancient. During the Tang and Song dynasties, part of the prepositional phrases began to grammaticalize into a conjunction, and it was fossilized into a full conjunction during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The semantic features and syntactic conditions of this phrase are the two essential factors that contribute to its grammaticalization. Generally speaking, the grammaticalization of wèicǐ as conjunction has been intensified in modern Chinese.
