摘　　要：离合词"睡觉"的语源义本为"睡醒",但其词义后来却向反向发展,演变成了"进入睡眠状态"(即"睡眠行为")。这一变化经本文考证始于明代。变化产生的原因则主要是出于误用。表示"睡醒"义的"睡觉"在中古汉语和近代汉语中的读音与随后出现的表示"睡眠行为"义的"睡觉"的读音完全相同,就是二者前后联系的重要证明。The separation and reunion word 'sleeping' originates from eaking.But the meaning of the word goes to the opposite and becomes the state of falling asleep.This change began in the Ming Dynasty through doing textual reserach.The change is mainly due to error use.The pronunciation of sleeping which means waking in middle ancient Chinese and modern Chinese is completely as same as the pronunciation of the sleeping which means the state of going saleep.The point is important evidence linking the former and later sleeping.
