Abstract/Summary:
Adverb predicate sentence "refers to a sentence in which an adverb is used as a predicate.In modern Chinese,it is generally believed that adverbs have nominalism,but after textual research on language materials,it has been found that adverbs also have demonstrability.In the past,the research on the non adverbial nature of adverbs mainly focused on conceptual interpretation,phenomenon description,or case analysis,while there were few specialized studies on the use of adverbs as predicates and the expansion of their functions.Adverbial predicate sentences,as a unconventional sentence structure,have a strong preference for conversational style,and some adverbs can be implemented as "adverbial → attributive → predicate → object".This multifunctional expansion forms the phenomenon of adverb realization.This paper uses the theories of Structuralism,antithetical grammar and conversational analysis to prove the internal motivation of adverbs as predicates,and discusses the motivation,mechanism and expression effect of adverb substantiation,so as to have a clearer understanding of the grammatical function of adverbs,and can also reflect on the unique grammatical characteristics of Chinese.This article is divided into eight chapters.The first chapter is the introduction section,which provides a detailed introduction to the reason and significance of the topic selection,the current research status at home and abroad,and the theories,methods,and corpus to be used to solve the problem.The second and third chapters mainly examine the syntactic form and semantic characteristics of adverbial predicate sentences.In terms of syntactic form,it includes the linear arrangement of adverb predicate sentences on the form category of the subject,the pauses between the subject and predicate,the modification of the predicate adverb by other adverbs,and the co-occurrence with the modal particles at the end of the sentence.Semantically: including the semantic characteristics of adverbial predicate sentences,the role and grammatical significance of predicates,the relationship between subjects and predicates,the types of predicate adverbs,and the deviation of semantic expression functions.These two chapters aim to use Structuralism linguistic theories and methods to explore the motivation of adverbial predicate sentences in form and semantics,and explain the characteristics of Chinese adverbs.The fourth and fifth chapters mainly study adverbial predicate sentences from theories such as contrastive grammar and conversational analysis.The grammar part of the adverbial predicate mainly examines the reasons for the establishment of adverbial predicate sentences from the characteristics of flowing sentences and the relationship between the subject and predicate of adverbial predicate sentences,the connection between high-level predicates and adverbial predicate sentences,and the derivation process of adverbial predicate sentences.The conversation analysis section mainly explores the conversation sequence position,interactive function,motivation for the formation of interactive function,and characteristics of conversation interaction of adverbial predicate sentences.These two chapters mainly re-examine adverb predicate sentences from the antithetical grammar,and use conversation analysis to investigate their laws in the conversation,to illustrate the importance of this kind of unconventional sentence pattern to the construction of Chinese grammar system,and to discuss the spirit of Chinese sentence making,and to reflect the uniqueness of Chinese grammar,that is,Chinese is a "topic explanation" language.The sixth and seventh chapters mainly examine the multifunctional expansion and realization of adverbs,exploring the motivations,mechanisms,and expressive effects of adverb realization,in order to draw attention to the characteristics of adverbs.Chapter 8 Conclusion.Based on the above chapters,summarize the conclusion,innovation points,and shortcomings of the article.
