The rhetorical question of "hai X bu X(le)" is a common type of the positive rhetorical question.However,the "hai X bu X(le)" type rhetorical sentence is different from the ordinary positive rhetorical sentence in that it can affirm the positive meaning of the former item "X" and the negative meaning of the latter item "bu X" .The "hai X bu X(le)" type rhetorical sentence always affirms the negative meaning of the latter item "bu X".Therefore,based on the corpus,this paper makes a comprehensive study of the "hai X bu X(le)" rhetorical questions in five parts.First of all,after sorting out the research results of the sages,we make a component analysis on the structure of "hai X bu X(le)" in the rhetorical question.There are two kinds of semantics of "hai" in the structure,one is the subjective anti anticipated meaning,the other is the coexistence of the subjective anti anticipated meaning and the objective sustained meaning.The "le" in the structure can mark the new knowledge and play the role of ending a sentence.The variable "X" in the structure can be acted by adjective,verb and verb structure,and there are several different forms of "X bu X" structure,such as complete form and abridged form.In addition to component analysis,we also explain the syntactic distribution of the whole structure.In a sentence,the structure of "hai X bu X(le)" can be used as predicate and complement,but mainly as predicate element.On the basis of the above analysis,we study the reasons for the negation of the general table of the "hai X bu X(le)" type rhetorical questions.We think that "hai" has the function of "mark" first.After selecting the positive and negative questions,we give the"hai" certification.At the same time,"hai" also has the function of "assisting negation" in the sentence.Secondly,the structure of "X bu X" provides the semantic basis for the negative expression of "hai X bu X(le)" type rhetorical questions through its own semantic tendency.At the same time,this paper makes a pragmatic analysis of the rhetorical question of"hai X bu X(le)" .It not only has the common pragmatic value of emphasizing,communicating,politeness,instruction and induction,but also has the special pragmaticvalue of emphasizing meaning and evaluating meaning to a high degree.Finally,this paper studies the questions related to the rhetorical question of "hai X bu X(le)" .First of all,it discusses the possibility that "X" in the structure is a noun,and holds that it is possible that the noun acts as it.Secondly,a comparative analysis is made on the structure of "hai X mei X(le)" and "hai X bu X(le)" and it is considered that there are high similarities but differences between them.Finally,we describe the development process of the rhetorical question of "hai X bu X(le)" from the false question to the true question.
