A Multi-angle Research Of The Double Negation Structure "Bushi Bu X"

The construction“bushi bu X”is of double negation in Modern Chinese.In daily conversation,in order to convey information and emotion effectively,both sides of the speaker often use double negation,especially in conflict context.The article analyzes and describes the construction "bushi bu X" from syntactic,semantic and pragmatic perspectives.On the basis of previous studies and using the negation theory of meta-language,the article divides the negation expressed of "bushi bu X" into semantic negation and pragmatic negation,and points out that there are three types of pragmatic negation of "bushi bu X".In addition,the types and characteristics of the co-existing composition with "bushi bu X" are also investigated.The article is divided into six parts.The first chapter is an introduction,introducing the significance of the topic,research status,research methods and the source of the corpus.In the second chapter,from a syntactic point of view,based on whether "not" and "X" can be combined as a standard,the structure "buhsi bu X" is simply classified to define the scope of the research object of this paper.Then,through collating and analyzing the corpus of "bushi bu X",the components acting as "X" are classified.Through a more comprehensive investigation of the corpus of "bushi bu X",the third chapter makes a detailed classification and analysis of the co-existing composition with "bushi bu X".The research finds that there are three types of adverbs,modal words and conjunctions co-occurring with "bushi bu X".Co-present with adverbs,adverbs of mood have the highest co-occurrence frequency,such as those expressing affirmation,euphemism,moderation and estimation.the co-occurrence frequency of typical modal words is much higher than that of general modal words.As "bushi bu X" often appears in the form of a clause in a complex sentence,it is bound to co-appear with the associated conjunctions,which are marked in the relations of turning,progression,juxtaposition and causality.In addition,when "bushi bu X" coexists with the modal adverbs "hai","nan dao" and the modal words "ma","ma" and "me",the form and semantics will change.In the fourth chapter,the research first discusses the characteristics of "bushi bu X",and then focuses on the analysis of the logical and semantic relationship between "bushi bu X" in complex sentences and the subsequent sentences,and finds that there are relations of transition,interpretation,progression,juxtaposition and causality between them.The five chapter analyzes "bushi bu X" from the perspective of pragmatics."Bushi bu X" has a strong contextual dependence.Whether it is semantic negation or pragmatic negation is mainly restricted and influenced by context."Bushi bu X" plays a role of justification,correction,cohesion emphasis and mitigating the tone in a sentence.Moreover,"bushi bu X" has the anti-expectation function and ultra-predicted nature.The six chapter summarizes the whole paper and points out the shortcomings of the research.
