A Study On The Construction Of "X Zhene"

The "X zhene" is a relatively common expression in modern Chinese,with rich meaning and strong subjectivity.With the help of construction grammar theory,we explore the composition and distribution,pragmatic features and functions,comparison with relevant formats,and formation and evolution of the "X zhene" construction.The "X zhene" construction is composed of the constant"zhene" and the variable "X".Among them,"X" is mainly a monosyllabic adjective,tends to be a neutral word,and has characteristics of traits,measurability,and subjectivity.The construction meaning is that the speaker affirms or exaggerates the traits of the subject,deepening the degree.Its syntactic characteristics are mainly reflected in its ability to not only serve as a syntactic component,but also as a clause or independent sentence in complex sentences.It can also co-occur with commentary adverbs and restrictive adverbs,deepening emotional expression.In terms of discourse distribution,sentence endings are mainly used.The distribution of sentence types is mostly concentrated in declarative and exclamatory sentences.The pragmatic features of the "X zhene" construction are mainly reflected in its stylistic distribution,positive and negative colors,and pragmatic functions.The "X zhene"construction is mainly distributed in informal language with strong colloquialism,mainly in conversational language.There is no obvious tendency towards positive or negative colors,and its pragmatic functions mainly include subjective expression function,focus highlighting function,affirmation and emphasis function,refutation and negation function,and anti expectation function.The "X zhene" construction and the synonymous "X zhe+ne" are two structures that have the same surface form but completely different deep semantics.They exhibit significant differences in the choice of "X" and the syntactic and semantic aspects.The "X zhene"construction and the semantically similar "X dehen" construction are mainly based on property adjectives,showing significant similarities in semantics and pragmatics.However,the subjectivity of the "X dehen" construction is weaker than that of the "X zhene"construction,so the "X dehen" construction can be paired with modal particles,while the "X zhene" construction cannot.In addition,the "X dehen" construction does not have a refutation function.Overall,there is a relatively clear path for the formation and evolution of the "X zhene"construction,which is the formation of the "V+zhe+O+ne" structure through the preposition or omission of the object,and then extended to the "A zhe+ne" structure through analogy,and re analyzed as the "A+zhe+ne" structure.Among them,"V zhene" is the prototype construction of "X zhene",and "A zhene" is the typical construction of "X zhene".The formation mechanism of the "X zhene" construction mainly includes reanalysis,analogy,construction suppression,and subjectivism.These mechanisms are mutually influencing and complementary,jointly promoting the formation of the construction.
