In modern Chinese,the "VAle" predicate-complement structure is a special grammatical phenomenon with a concise structure and rich meaning.Based on what Liu Jianming(1990)and other researchers’ studies,this paper emphasizes the predicate-complement structure composed of "V(verb)+A(adjective)+le(function word)through analysis in its all sides such as structural composition,syntax,semantics,pragmatics and so on.The entire paper falls into the following three parts:The first part is an introduction.This part briefly introduces the research background of the paper,summarizes the research results of the VRC(verb-resultative construction)and "VA 了",defines the object,and explains the significance,method and corpus sources of the research.The second part from the first to the fifth chapter is the main body of the paper.The first chapter is the dynamic investigation from the perspective of prototype category.And defines the "VRC" as a cohesive Predicate-Complement Structure that indicates connection between action and its result.On grounds of Prototypical Scope Theory,the four basic features and five core features are concluded in where the hard-core VRC tend to have more features than edged ones.It is verified by corpus that the Prototypical VRC obtains three features:easier to form a VRC compound word,high frequency,semantic meaning of causal relation.The second chapter analyzes the characteristics of the composition of "VA",and classifies V","A" and "le" from different angles."V" mainly represents transitive verbs,action verbs and Vc dual-limit structure in which Vc5 accounts for the highest proportion with the strongest motion degree.The predicate verb "V" must have an end point."A" is mainly played by nature adjectives with monosyllabic adjectives being predominant."le"can be divided into three categories:the aspect article"le1",the modal article "le2" and the unification word of both "le1+2"."VA" can also be used alone in sentences without"le".The third chapter is the syntactic and semantic analysis of the Predicate-Complement Structure"VAle".It is mainly divided into the following four aspects:from the structural characteristics,the syllable features of "VAle" mainly appear in the combination of "V single+A single+le",which conforms to the rhythm characteristics;the fusion degree of"VA" is different;The "VA" replenishment structure is bounded,and "VA" has an inherent natural termination point.Grammatically,"(VAle)1" means the realization of a certain result,while"(VAle)2" suggests the deviation of some expected results and"(VAle)3"contains both meanings of the former ones.The semantic feature of "V" and "A" in the process of assembly is its intrinsic semantic mechanism."V" can reveal the semantic features of the complement "A".The result of a verb is multi-dimensional;"A" can also reveal the semantic features of the behavioral action represented by "V".An adjective can be resulted by the verbs that have the same semantic features.Semantically,it specifically analyzes the semantic orientation of complement in both unmarked sentences and marked ones.The semantics of "A" in untagged sentences can be directed to verbs,subjects,objects,and auxiliary bodies;the semantics of "A" in the three-character sentence "Ba",repetitive verb sentence,and the topic sentence point to their respective characteristics.The fourth chapter analyzes the types,cause and resolution of ambiguity in "VAle"structure.The types are ambiguity caused by different lexical meanings,different grammatical meanings,and different semantic points.The causes of ambiguity are syntactic factors,semantic factors,and pragmatic factors.There are three methods for ambiguity resolution:transform analysis,speech,and context.The fifth chapter studies the pragmatics of the predicate-complement structure It mainly analyzes the language environment,pragmatic principles,conversational meaning,information focus,Pragmatic function of the VAle" supplementary structure.The context and context in which "VAle" is located;"VAle" which follows economic principles and violation of the principle of cooperation to create a conversational meaningproduces conversational implicature."A" can form both conventional information focus and non-conventional information focus.This part analyzes the pragmatic functions of "VAle"in verbal communication from three aspects:the single use of "VAle" and the pragmatic function of continuous use;"VAle" means the pragmatic function analysis of inevitable result and unexpected result"VA" and "V de A","No VA" comparison analysis.The third part is the conclusion.It summarize all views in the whole paper and brings forward the problems and deficiencies in the research. |
