What distinguishes Old Chinese morphology from modern Chinese morphology?Old Chinese was typologically different, exhibiting various morphological processes like affixation and reduplication, unlike modern varieties which are less overtly morphological. For example, prefixes like *k- in Old Chinese served specific grammatical functions that are not directly present in modern forms.How does the study redefine the understanding of 'word' in Old Chinese?The study suggests that the concept of 'word' in Old Chinese isn't equivalent to that in English, involving phonological, syntactic, and semantic dimensions. It distinguishes between phonological words, basic expressions, and zero-level units of syntax.When did morphological processes begin to emerge in Old Chinese texts?Evidence of morphological processes appears in texts from the Zhou dynasty (11th - 3rd centuries B.C.E.), reflecting a language that was linguistically rich. Various prefixes and suffixes became operational as early as these classical compositions.
