다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

“就”在汉语中属于常用词汇，在《通用规范汉字表》中被列为一级字，作为汉语常用字，属于满足基础教育和文化普及的基本用字。“就”属于多义性词汇，语义之多在汉语中也是屈指可数。元代是“就”由动词向多种词类发展的语法化过程中的一个较为活跃的时期。作为对“就”字研究的一部分，本文以元代文献中的“就”为主要研究对象，对其用法及类型进行考察，旨在呈现其在近代汉语时期的使用特点。通过对其历史用例的分析，本文亦希望为理解现代汉语中“就”的多种功能提供一定的历史依据。
尽管学界对“就”的研究一直较为关注，但现有研究多集中于某些具体义项或功能，对于特定历史时期中“就”的整体使用情况的系统研究仍然较为有限。本文希望能够为今后关于“就”的进一步研究提供一定的基础性资料。

The character “就” is a commonly used word in Chinese and is listed as a Level-1 character in the Table of General Standard Chinese Characters. As one of the basic characters required for fundamental education and cultural literacy, its core meaning is “to approach,” with extended meanings including “to reach,” “to accomplish,” and more. Due to its wide range of meanings, “就” stands out as one of the most polysemous words in Chinese, with each usage taking on distinct semantic roles within a sentence.
The Yuan Dynasty was a particularly active period in the grammaticalization of “就” from a verb into various other parts of speech. As part of a broader investigation into the character “就,” this study focuses specifically on its usages and classifications in Yuan Dynasty texts, aiming to present its features during the period of Early Modern Chinese. By exploring its historical forms, this research seeks to provide insights into how the functions of “就” in Modern Chinese have evolved.
Although scholarly attention on “就” has been consistent, most existing studies tend to focus on specific meanings or functions. In contrast, research dedicated to the behavior of “就” during particular historical periods remains limited. It is hoped that this study will contribute valuable foundational data for further research on “就”.
