Title: A Supplement to the Origin of the Preposition of“打”
Abstract: Based on previous work in“Study on Empty Words in Modern Chinese”by Liu Jian(刘坚), Jiang Lansheng(江蓝生)、Bai Weiguo(白维国)and Cao Guangshun(曹广顺), the text continues to probe into the origin of the preposition of“打”. It reveals that the earliest use of “da(打)”as a preposition has a closer affinity with the sense of“打”as a verb in the phrases such as“make spinning movement(打转)”and“make round trip(打来回)”.
