With the help of CCL Corpus, we collected a lot of "hǎo (yī) gèX" sentences in the JindaiChinese (from Tang to Qing Dynasty) and Modern Chinese. On the basis of a detailed andcomprehensive classification to these samples, this dissertation discusses "hǎo (yī) gèX" fromthe static and dynamic aspects of a comprehensive perspective.There were two ideas on the past research of" hǎo (yī) gèX": (1) Considered it as a NP; (2)Considered it as one of Chinese exclamatory sentences. We're agree with the latter, But we thinkthey are limited in a synchronic perspective and haven't studied in depth. We try to do somefurther studies in the following aspects:1. Synchronic and Diachronic perspectives.2. A detailed analysis of its positive and negative meaning and the way to obtain themeaning.The sentence mainly expresses two sorts of significances: positive and negativesignificances. The positive meaning include love, praise, satisfaction and admiration; thenegative meanings include satirize, regret, reprimand, abusiveness etc. Sometimes, the meaningcan be obtained directly from the sentence and sometimes need to access specific context.3. "Hǎo (yī) gèX" with register restraint and its text functions.It's highly selective for different language styles and has many functions, such as the lead tofollowing text function, recapitulation and title function.4. The historical sources and changing tracks of "hǎo (yī) gèX"."Hǎo (yī) gèX" was one of common spoken sentence structure in Jindai Chinese. Itoriginated in the Tang and Five Dynasties, developed in the Song Yuan Dynasties, Stereotyped inthe Ming and Qing Dynasties. It's likely to come from the southern dialects and experienced aprocess of re-analysis in the process; the changes in Yuan Dynasty revealed its characteristic ofjudgment. In the history of the development process, it was challenged by some of the emergingexclamatory sentences. One hand it was gradually changing from a spoken sentence structure toa written sentence structure in Modern Chinese, the other hand it was gradually getting atendency of derogatoriness.
