论文摘要
古典中文是一种以其单词的灵活性而闻名的语言：相同的单词通常可以用作名词或动词。 Bisang（2008）声称，古典中文是一种预分类语言，其中单词的句法位置决定其词性的一部分类别。在本文中，我们应用基于熵的指标来评估这些关于历史语料库的主张。我们进一步探讨了古典中文中名词和动词之间的差异：使用心理语言规范，我们发现具体性和名词用法之间存在正相关。最后，我们使古典和现代汉语的嵌入性角色嵌入，并发现动词比名词更具语义变化。
Classical Chinese is a language notable for its word class flexibility: the same word may often be used as a noun or a verb. Bisang (2008) claimed that Classical Chinese is a precategorical language, where the syntactic position of a word determines its part-of-speech category. In this paper, we apply entropy-based metrics to evaluate these claims on historical corpora. We further explore differences between nouns and verbs in Classical Chinese: using psycholinguistic norms, we find a positive correlation between concreteness and noun usage. Finally, we align character embeddings from Classical and Modern Chinese, and find that verbs undergo more semantic change than nouns.
