本文所取之東、西漢《新語》等著書，既有概興亡、論政、記事、諷諫、明古訓、繪心得、爭辯、反批評，亦有評迷信、敘史、揭惡、述訓述，自其相異之內容，擇「何」「曷」「奚」「胡」「惡」五字，以探究其語法之使用情形。 先秦漢語，於五字中以「何」字出現次數最頻，且用法最廣。「惡」字用法較狹。兩漢沿襲先秦，未有多大變動。此五字之共同點是皆用作補語、狀語，其中「何」字兼定語、主語、賓語、斷語(或稱謂語)各種功用；「奚」字尚可用於定語、賓語、斷語；「曷」「胡」亦用於定語；「惡」又用於主語。 五字中，「何」「奚」兩字又可與他字構成結合語。其結合語除備單用用法之外，尚可用為此較關係之連詞。且其結合語，漢代除延續先秦外，尚有新增者，則說明之。 此外，可於結合語「如何」、「若何」、「奈何」、「謂何」中間插入「之」字，抑或「如何」、「奈何」、「謂何」中間插入名詞或詞組，皆一併分析。

The corpus of this article originates from the East and West Han dynasties, and there are in total eight volumes, such as, Sin Yu, etc., in which there are boom and bust, talk of political affairs, satire and suggestion, debate, comments on superstition, historical incidents, revelation of evil, and talk of discipline. There are differences in the content, but I have selected our her, heru, hsu, hu, hui and so on in order to probe into their grammar usage. Her appears very frequently and is used widely. Looking at the preceding Han language, her also has the highest frequency. Both Hans follow the Chin dynasty, and there is not too much change. Heru, hsu, hu, and hui aare used as adverbs, in which hsu and hui are used as asverbs; hsu also can be used as a modifier and compliment; hui can be used as a compliment. In other words, heru, hu, hsu are used very narrowly. As to conjunctions, there are only her and hsu, but both are used as adverbs. The words of conjunction are used in the Chin dynasty; however, they are not used in the eight volumes in the Han dynasty. The explanations are all gien here for the two Han dynasties.
