Research On The Construction Of "VP Ye(?) (shi(?)) Bai(?) VP"

The construction "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" is frequently used in modern Chinese,such as "saying ye(?)(shi(?))ba(?)saying","thinking ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)thinking",etc.With the guidance of Construction Grammar Theory and the Small Triangle Theory of Prof.Xing Fuyi,this paper studies the construction of "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" from linguistic form linguistic meaning and pragmatic value by combining description and explanation,form and meaning.There are five parts in this paper:Introduction.This paper introduces the reasons for the topic selection briefly,and then describes the research situation of the "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" construction and its related linguistic components.It also explains the research theory and method,and lists the source of corpus.The analysis of linguistic form.The constant terms are divided into "must item" and"can item" according to whether they can always appear in the construction "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP".Then the paper explains the properties and syntactic functions of"ye(?)","bai(?)" and "shi(?)" in this construction and analyzes the variable term VP,and in the construction "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP",the two VP can be in the same linguistic form or not.It also investigates the syntactic distribution of the construction,which is mainly used independently or as a sentence component.When being used independently,the construction "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" can be a single sentence or a clause of a complex sentence,when acting as a sentence component,it can be used as a predicate,subject,object and attribute.The analysis of linguistic meaning.The paper analyzes the semantic characteristics of component VP,"ye(?)”and "bai(?)".Then the construction "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" is semantically divided into three parts,which are aimed at the agent,at the subject and at the party concerned respectively.Subsequently,it is pointed out that through analysis,"VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" is a construction whose meanings are multiple:it shows that the agent acts,but it is useless;or the interests of the subject are damaged,but no one pays the price;or the party concerned has some characters,but it is useless.The study of pragmatic value.Comparing and analyzing the differences and connections between the construction "VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" and "jishi(??)A,ye(?)B","bu(?)VP bai(?)bu(?)VP,VP ye(?)(shi(?))bai(?)VP" in linguistic form linguistic meaning and pragmatic value.Then the construction "VP ye(?)(sh(?))bai(?)VP" is analyzed,whose pragmatic function mainly includes textual function and interpersonal function,the former mainly includes summarizing the previous part,connecting the preceding part and the following part,drawing forth the following part,while the latter mainly includes anticipatory information transmission,evaluation expression and emotion expression.Conclusion.Summarizing the whole text and indicating the deficiency of the research.
