摘　　要："流水"在现代汉语中直接位于动词前面做状语(如"流水作业"和"流水生产")的功能源于明清时期"流水"的副词功能,"流水"作副词表"急忙"或"不断"之义,它是人们对流水从视觉的感知域建立起来的隐喻认知结果。也就是"流水"这个源域,其流逝的状态特征———"迅速、不断"直接映射到相似的动作之上。当这种特征不断突显,"流水"直接置于动词前修饰动词,则副词"流水"形成。但该副词用法在现代汉语中的弱化,说明词汇的演变并不总是一直虚化下去。The function of Liushui （流水） as an adverhial to modify a verb after it originated from the adverb Liushui （流水） in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Liushui （流水） meant ＂rapidly＂ or ＂continuously＂, which was the metaphorical cognitive result of the running water. It was the source domain ＂Liushui＂, the character of the running water, that was applied to similar actions. When this character was sticking out gradually and ＂Liushui＂ was put before a verb to modify it, the adverb ＂Liushui＂ was formed. But this kind of usage reduces in contemporary Chinese, which shows that the evolvement of a word cannot always bleach its semantics.

关 键 词：副词 流水 隐喻
