“一直以来”因其非常规语义组合受到争议。本文通过比较认为,“一直以来”同常规的“X以来”语义组合的不同之处在于其突显的要素不在于一般的时间范围,而是突显了动作或状态的持续性,给“X以来”增添新的语义功能,是包括“长期以来”等“X以来”成员所不具备的,是对语义功能的补充。这就是“一直以来”的语义价值和合理性。 “All along ” is controversial because of its unconventional semantic mix. In this paper, the author thinks that the difference between the semantics of “has been ” and the conventional “X ” lies in that the highlighted elements are not in the ordinary time range, but highlight the continuity of actions or states, The new semantic function “since X” is not available to members of “since”, such as “longtime”, “X”, but also complements the semantic function. This is the “always” semantic value and rationality.
