A Comparative Study Of Adverbs "uniform" And "all" Based On The CCL Corpus

"Yilv" and "Quandou" are frequently used adverbs in modern Chinese.There are similarities and differences in semantics,syntax and pragmatics.At the grammatical level,the high-frequency adverbs "Yilv" and "Quandou" modifies the predicate component,and the low-frequency modifies the substantive component."Yilv" can modify quantitative phrases,but "Quandou" cannot.In the predicate component,the verb component is frequently modified,"Yilv" only modifies the qualitative adjectives,and "Quandou" high-frequency modifies the state adjectives.The form of "yilv+adverb+head" is the high-frequency usage of "Yilv" in conjunction with other adverbs;the usage of "adverb+quandou+head" is the high-frequency usage of "Quandou" in conjunction with other adverbs.The frequency of using "Yilv" with negative adverbs is much higher than the frequency of using "Quandou" with negative adverbs.In negative adverbs,both of them are frequently used with "No".Among them,the form of "yilv + no + can wish verb" is used more frequently,and the structure of "quandou+ no + action verb" is used more frequently.Secondly,the meaning and semantic orientation of the adverbs "Yilv" and "Quandou" are also different.Both can point to the subject and preposition object."Quandou" can refer to interrogative pronouns,but "Yilv" cannot.The objects pointed to by "Yilv" are all noun elements of plural numbers,which represent the full meaning and limit the scope of the referred objects.The semantic target of "Quandou" can be a plural nominal component or an abstract non-plural nominal component,which can not only summarize the scope of the referent,but also express the degree meaning.From a pragmatic point of view,"Yilv" high-frequency applies to the pre-existing context,and "Quandou" high-frequency applies to the existing context."Yilv" mostly appears in business style corpus,while "Quandou" mostly appears in literary style corpus.In an already existing context,“Yilv” can be replaced with“Quandou” in most cases.The conditions for replacing "Quandou" with "Yilv" are more complicated,and the two can be replaced only in rare cases.In the context of Weiran,if "Yilv" is replaced with "Quandou",it is semantically possible but not pragmatic.If "Quandou" is replaced with "Yilv" in the context of Weiran,it will meet the conditions in terms of semantics and context.According to the principle of family similarity,although "Yilv" and "Quandou" belong to the category of adverbs of scope,they do not share all the characteristics."Yilv" has all meanings,and its semantic feature is an umbrella of nature;"Quandou" has both all meanings and degree meanings,and its semantic feature is a state umbrella;modality adverbs are closely related to the subject,and "Almost" is an adverb of degree,which is more inclined "Yilv" and "Quandou" are limited,so modality adverbs and degree adverbs are mostly placed before "Yilv" and "Quandou",which embodies the principle of distance iconicity.Negative adverbs "no" and "not/less than" before "Quandou" indicate partial negation,and after "Quandou" indicates total negation,so "quandou+ no,not/less than" and "no,not/less than+quandou" are The reflection of two different conceptual structures,the combination order is the embodiment of the logical order of human cognition in the arrangement of adverbs.
