Old Chinese possessed a complex system of negation, the exact nature of which has been under academic discussion for a long time. This study deals with the formative history of the Old Chinese negative adverb 弗 *put, using oracle bone inscriptions as the source material. It is argued that these inscriptions provide the most reliable view into the early history of the negative system in Old Chinese and should consequently be preferred over transmitted texts that have often been taken as a starting point by many scholars. Furthermore, it is argued that the oracle bone inscriptions provide significant corroborative evidence for the formation of 弗 *put as a contraction of the negative 不 *pə and the pronoun 之 *tə. The view suggested in this paper also explains why the negative 弗 *put evolved into a negative of highly transitive verbs, leading into the development of a system of negation that is encountered rather infrequently cross-linguistically.上古漢語は比較帝に複雑な否定体系を有した。本研究では、殷代の甲骨文資料のコーパスに基づき、否定副詞「弗」*putの成立について考察を行う。代名詞目的語否定文の分析により、否定詞「弗」は否定詞「不」*pə及び代名詞「之」*təの融合によって生まれたという長年論争されてきた仮説が正しいと主張する。論文 Articles
