As a representative work of the mid-western Shandong dialect in the early Qing Dynasty, Liaozhai Folk Song Collectionpreserves a substantial number of dialectal words and syntactic structures from the Ming and Qing periods. It comprehensively reflects the linguistic characteristic of the this area in Shandong over three centuries ago, serving as a crucial research material of early modern Chinese, particularly the grammar of the mid-western Shandong dialect during the Ming and Qing eras. This paper provides a detailed and meticulous analysis of the comparative “比” constructions and the superlative “比” constructions in the 15 folk songs from Pu Songling’s Liaozhai Folk Song Collection. It also reveals the structural characteristics, semantic relationships, and pragmatic features of the “比” constructions, supplementing and revising the incomplete and inaccurate descriptions in the diachronic research of the mid-western Shandong dialect, while also presenting the author's own perspectives. Furthermore, from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, this study examines the increase and decline of this construction in the mid-western Shandong region, thereby clarifying the evolutionary trajectory and developmental patterns of the “比” constructions in the process of grammaticalization.

清初山东中西部方言的代表作品聊斋俚曲集，保留了明清时期大量的方言词语和方 言句式，比较完备地反映了三个世纪前鲁中西部地区的语言特征，是研究近代汉语语法、 尤其是明清时期鲁中西部方言语法的重要文献。本文对蒲松龄聊斋俚曲集15种俚曲中平 比“比”字句和差比“比”字句，进行详尽细致地梳理和分析，揭示“比”字句这一句式 的结构特点和语义特征。对这一句式在山东中西部方言的历时发展研究中不够全面、准确 的描述加以补充并提出自己的看法。同时，从历时角度，考察这一句式在山东中西部地区 的消长变化，进而厘清“比”字句在语法化过程中的演变脉络和发展规律。
