Abstract
The use of the word Qiansulian(前苏联) has caused some controversies so far. The point lies in the lack of a comprehensive and profound understanding concerning the use of the quasi-prefix Qian(前).There are at least three uses of Qian(前) as a quasi-prefix, which indicates that it is evolving from a quasi-prefix to a real prefix. This is a new use from the influence of prefix in foreign languages.
