摘　　要：古代汉语中的代词“是”不是一个普通的指示代词,而是一个确指代词。当它复指前一分句并充当后一分句的主语时,随着前一分句的简化,“是”的指代性越来越弱,就演化为表确认的用法。系词“是”的用法和焦点标记“是”的用法都是由这种表示确认的“是”发展而来,它们是同步发展,也都是在差不多中古的时候发展成熟的。In ancient Chinese, the pronoun shi (literally meaning "yes" in English) is not an ordinary demonstrative pronoun , but a specific pronoun. When shi is the backward anaphora to the front clause and acts as the subject of the following clause, its nature of reference becomes weaker and weaker, owing to the simplicity of the front clause, and then shi has a new usage of confirmation. Copula shi and focus mark shi are both extended from the confirmation usage. They were extended synchronously, and became mature in the medieval times.
