Abstract

From ancient times,bilen has a higher frequency of using , the paper tries,from the base of diachrony analysis ,to combinate synchronic description and analysis of language, from diachrony evolution, explaining differences in the synchronic surface,the paper studies Uighur bilen evolved a verb, postposition, conjunctions, tools and other grammatic components ,and bilen’s process of grammar and syntax as the same postposition marking and emerging multi-function expansion process. The article described a rough to bilen’s process with some body composition of post-term word structure,phrase into a fixed phrase or word process. This article studies from the grammatical functions and semantic functions and makes it as the starting point ,it argues that bilen’s grammatical process,making an analysis of morphological syntactic change, semantic change. The bilen’s grammaticalization features unidirection ality , sequence,abstraction. Its grammatical factors ,which are triggered, are under the pragmatic inferencing, Its mechanisms include reanalysis , analogy, metaphor.This article is divided into three chapters. First chapter tells studying meaning, status, methods, sources of the contents of the corpus of grammaticalization. Second chapter reviews and discusses the grammatical process. The third chapter focuses on analysing uighur bilen’s changes of morphological syntactic, semantic, grammatical features, motivation, mechanism.The innovation of this article is:(1) auther firstly makes the comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the uighur bilen evolved from the verb to postposition, conjunctions, tools and other grammatic components ,a -nd bilen’s process of grammar and syntax as the same postposition marking and emerging multi-function expansion process. Bilen occurs synchronic grammaticalization process,which can provide an important explanation to the synchronic surface’s grammatical phenomenon.(2) the use of the modern grammatical theory, that is, not only from the perspective of histor -ical evolution, but also exploring linguistic types in features and universals, as well as integrated use of cognitive linguistics views of some of the points, reflecting the diachrony and synchrony for a total combination.(3) uighur bilen’s traditional study often start from the form of language, especially from the formation to a static bilen’s production, rather than from bilen’s description of the appropriate semantic basis and appropriate syntax environment. ignors the bilen’s study for the intrinsic motivation . To bilen’s grammar function and a variety of usage, many grammar books make it description from a static, closed, or self–contained description of the system. Because a purely formal analysis viates the pragmatic factors and cognitive mechanisms which closely linked language itself, making it difficult to make the grammaticalization of the reasons for a convincing explanation. Therefore this article cognitive? seeks to users from the language of the uighur’s psychological and pragmatic factors to explain the phenomen on of grammaticali -zation, making a more comprehensive and accurate grasp of the law of language change.(4) grammaticalization is a continuous process of gradual change, uighur’s bilen, nature, classification, polysemy, ambiguity, and the phenomenon of class to pass can be interpreted through the diachrony and synchrony for a total combination., it is synchronatic reflection in diachronatic transitional period.
