| Denominal verbs is an important grammatical phenomenon in the flexible use of parts of speech in ancient Chinese.Zuozhuan,as an important document in the pre Qin period,retains the basic state of ancient Chinese,but there are few achievements in studying the flexible use of parts of speech in Zuozhuan from the perspective of construction grammar.Therefore,this paper uses the theory of construction grammar to study and analyze the use of nouns in Zuozhuan from the aspects of grammar,semantics and pragmatics.Through statistics,it is found that the frequency of parts of speech in Zuozhuan presents a continuous gradient: abstract nouns > material nouns > Living nouns > place nouns > position nouns > proper nouns.This gradient is related to the typicality of nouns.The more atypical nouns are,the more likely they are to change their grammatical functions;This paper holds that the use of nouns in Zuozhuan is the change of grammatical function of nouns,which is the result of structural repression.The motivation of structural repression is the need of pragmatics and context.This paper mainly involves the following parts.The introduction part mainly introduces the basis of the topic,research object,research status,research methods and the source of the corpus.The second chapter makes a concrete analysis of the phenomenon of using nouns.Starting from the flexible use of parts of speech,this paper first analyzes the flexible use of parts of speech,what is the flexible use of parts of speech,and discusses the definition and scope of the flexible use of parts of speech.Then it discusses the specific meaning of the phenomenon.The third chapter analyzes the use of nouns in Zuozhuan from the perspective of semantics.First of all,flexible nouns can be classified into six categories: abstract nouns,material nouns,living nouns,place nouns,location nouns and proper nouns.Secondly,the semantic features are divided into three categories: morphological features + category meaning,natural features + category meaning,functional features + category meaning;Finally,the semantic roles are divided into five categories: agent,patient,result,tool and place.From the above analysis,it can be concluded that abstract nouns in Zuozhuan are easier to be used flexibly,because they are typically unstable and more likely to change their functions.The fourth chapter is to analyze the construction grammar of Zuozhuan.First of all,this paper expounds the construction of pressure,and classifies the nouns used in Zuozhuan by using the construction grammar theory.There are three categories: construction pressure,vocabulary pressure and inertia pressure.Then it discusses the grammatical conditions for the use of nouns in Zuozhuan.The grammatical conditions can be roughly divided into the following categories: "N + N" can be divided into two categories: when two nouns are used together as subject predicate structure,the latter can be used flexibly;when they are verb object structure,the former can be used later;"Adverb +N";"N + pronoun";"N + and" or "and + N";"can wish verb + N";and "N+ intermediate object structure".Finally,it is concluded that the use of nouns is essentially the result of structural repression,or structural repression,or lexical repression,or inertial repression.The motivation of structural repression is the need of grammar and context.The fifth chapter is the conclusion of this paper.Including the research results of this paper and the shortcomings of this research and the areas to be improved. |
