Based on the theory of interactive construction grammar,this paper takes the Chinese high-frequency format "V shenme O" as a whole and systematically investigates and analyzes the meaning of the construction and its interactive relationship with its components.Based on the corpus facts,this paper analyzes the prototype of the construction and the inheritance relationship between the family groups of "V shenme O" construction in the process of diachronic development and explores the internal mechanism of the continuous development and evolution of the construction in the process of interaction.The full text is divided into the following four chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which leads to the research object of this article by comparing different examples,lists the importance of in-depth research,makes a detailed arrangement of the research results of predecessors,and introduces the relevant research methods combined with the current research theory,and establishes a systematic research idea.The second chapter analyses the relationship between the "V shenme O"construction and its constituent elements.Based on the corpus facts and from the synchronic level,this paper sums up the types of components that the construction is allowed to enter and sums up four kinds of "V shenme O" construction meanings:negative behaviour,adverse condition,negative existence and emotional negation according to pragmatic reasoning.On this basis,it further analyzes the pragmatic meanings of various types of Function.The third chapter is a diachronic study of the "V shenme O" construction family group.In the process of analysis,we find the origin and the process of construction.In ancient times,the rhetorical form "he O zhi V" in front of the object formed a new pairing of form and meaning and realized the construction.In middle and near ancient times,"V he O" and "V shen O" developed and matured in form and meaning and formed a new construction In modern times,the interrogative pronoun "what" was gradually replaced by "shenme",which realized the disyllabic of interrogative pronoun.We regard the process of continuous change of form as the transitional stage of "V shenme O" until the usage of "V shenme O" stabilized.These forms form a similar construction group with the combination of different types of predicate object structure or dominant structure and interrogative pronoun.This kind of rhetorical predicate object structure inherits and links through some ways and constructs a family cluster of "V shenme O" construction-The fourth chapter is about the inheritance relationship between "V shenme O"and related constructions.The prototype of construction "V he n" has an inheritance relationship with the construction "V shen O","V he O",and "V shenme O",and the synchronic level is embodied as the interaction between the structural components and the whole,and the diachronic level is embodied as the inheritance relationship between the structured family groups.The interaction of construction is the internal mechanism of the construction inheritance relationship. |
