The Construction Of "Said X(also) Not X" In Modern Chinese

In modern Chinese,"said X(also)not X" structure is often used in spoken language,such as "say beautiful and not beautiful".The expression is quite distinct,and the surface affirms the euphemism and negation,and shows the richness and vividness in the language expression.According to construction grammar theory,"said X(also)X" is a construction.The constructional meaning of it: if some people think that Y has the properties of X,in fact,the speaker does not think property with the X,which first proposed the topic,and then the surface is the essence of affirmation,denial and a slight turn fold,implied mild rebuttal.In this paper,on the basis of previous research,by collecting abundant language materials,combined with the study of cognitive linguistics knowledge and construction grammar theory,using the theory of structuralism,focuses on the following aspects of description and analysis.The first is to "said X(also)of each component is not X" format for a detailed and in-depth analysis found,"said" meaning has been weak,is no longer completely that action speaks words,the development of "mentioned,talked about" meaning,leads to the speaker’s topic,and to evaluate the proposed the topic,cause the hearer notice to the topic."Also" has been weakened to mitigate the role of the speaker in the argument of the former argument.The second is the overall investigation of the two aspects of the construction of "said X(also)not X" and Symmetry ConstructionThe third is to prove that "said X(also)not X" is not only a construction but also a compact construction.It strongly indicates that the development path of "said X(also)not X" is to compress complex sentences into compact structure,and then develop into a compact structure.The fourth is to examine the motivation and mechanism of the constrictive structure of "said X(also)not X".The motivation of "said X(also)not X" constrictive structure is divided into pragmatic and cognitive motivation.The pragmatic motivation is mainly from the principles of language economy,redundancy,context infection and frequency use.The cognitive motivation is considered from the aspects of prominence and shelter,psychological projection,and Chinese parataxis.From the aspects of ellipsis and contraction,semantic coercion,re analysis and analogy,this paper analyzes the formation of the contraction construction "said X(also)not X" and how its construction meaning is generated.The fifth is to analyze and summarize the pragmatic features of the constrictive structure "say X(also)not X" from the angle of anti expectation,subjectivity and focus.The sixth is to examine the differences and generalities of "said X(also)not X" and "said X also X".
