Multi-dimensional Study Of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" Construction

Based on the facts of Chinese language and the synthetical construction grammar theory,this paper discusses the construction of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" from Syntactic,Semantic and Pragmatic aspects.Based on the full analysis of the constant and variable of the construction "X Bu X,Y Bu Y",we dig out its construction meaning as much as possible.This paper further discusses the applicable context and pragmatic functions of the construction "X Bu X,Y Bu Y",and tries to make a comprehensive and complete interpretation of the construction.The paper is divided into five parts:The first part is the introduction.Firstly,the research object of this paper is defined as "X Bu X,Y Bu Y",which is common in Chinese.Then "X Bu X" and related constructions and "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" constructions are sorted out and summarized.Point out the academic viewpoints and shortcomings of existing studies.On this basis,the significance of taking the construction "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" as the research object is clarified.Finally,the theories,methods and sources of corpus used in this paper are explained.The second part is the syntactic analysis of the construction "X Bu X,Y Bu Y".Firstly,refer to Goldberg’s selection criteria for constructs to evaluate whether "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" is a construct.And it conforms to the basic characteristics of the construction and is a typical construction.Then the syntactic features of "X,Bu,Y",which is part of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" construction are analyzed.The variables "X" and "Y" can be nouns,verbs,discriminators,and adjectives.It can also be used with "Guan + personal pronouns" and "Shen me"."Bu" is a subsidiary part,indicating the negative mood.Finally,the whole syntactic function of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" structure is analyzed.The third part analyzes the semantics of the "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" construction.Firstly,the significance of the constant term "Bu" and the variables "X" and "Y" in the structure is analyzed.Point out the roles of the three in the construction."Bu" provides a kind of "box meaning" for the whole construction of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y".The whole structure has the function of Judgment,Identification and Negation."Bu" indicating the negative mood.There are syngeneric and oppositional relations between variable X and variable Y.Combining with the semantic characteristics and semantic relations of each component of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" construction,the construction meaning of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" construction is clarified.The fourth part makes a pragmatic analysis of the structure of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y".First,analyze the applicable context of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" structure.It is found that this structure can be applied to the context of Evaluation,Description and Response.Then discuss the discourse function of the "X Bu X,Y Bu Y" construction.In practical application,this construction has the functions of Evaluation,Breaking solidification,Subjective expression and Topic highlighting.The fifth part discusses the formation mechanism and motivation of "X Bu X,Y Bu Y".The formation mechanism of this structure is found to be analogy,grammaticalization of semantic structure and construction inheritance.The causes are defamiliarization,the rhythm of language and the social psychology of seeking novelty and conformity.The sixth part is the conclusion.Summarize the main content of the article and describe the shortcomings of the article.
